I doubt that the fuel mileage issue is down to the drag of the R15--as I said, they had a 1 minute lead over the #8 Audi at one point, so the Pugs had room to gamble on fuel mileage. If the Pugs were really hammering it, they'd have been short by 1-2 laps as well. The lost track position on the part of the #8 gave them the cushion to save fuel, and the 8's understeer problem probably didn't help matters.

IFs don't count. The Pugs ran their six scheduled stops, and without flaws (except that the Oreca car almost left the stand with only three wheels attached to it after the very first pitstop). The Audi was slower (Why do you call that "lost track position", is it not simply the advantage gained by the Pugs?) and took more fuel....
