using fuel()

[pogidude]

in modules, I see code like this:

$user = $this->user;

and sometimes like this:

$user = $this->fuel('user');

when should I use which?

Use $this or wire(). You can use fuel but Ryan once explained it's deprecated and an old artifact using it.

ahhh.. thanks! I do like fuel().. it sounds awesome

But it's too long and cumbersome to type.
