Or use your fuel more efficently,I would be very suprised if the car with the worst fuel consumption also developed the most power
i think you will find some fairly thirsty machines being passed quite easily along a few of the straights. you may also find that the drivers play a large part in the equation, 2 different drivers can have different fuel consumption figures I would imagine
I would think if the Safety Cars are placed well enough some of the leaders will get there on just the 4 stops. Others will be in early or late to put in the short fall, the wiser ones will probally do it earlier and get it out of the way
