Don't forget that Saturn was operated as a "fifteen shots and that's it"
operation, since volume production was cancelled quite early, whereas the
shuttle is a continuing system. One would expect that an ongoing Saturn
operation would have been cheaper than the Apollo prices (although it's
hard to say by how much).
