Tom D raises a good point, there is a big difference between cooking and boiling water. Personally I prefer to carry dry goods and cook a real meal at least once a day. That uses more fuel than just boiling water, so you have to carry more. Since white gas is still much cheaper than fuel canisters if you buy it by the gallon, that is what I use. As for the extra weight , well, my dog carries my stove and fuel if I don't want to.
