I could imagine by 2011, with P2 engines, a hybrid system, and more durable tyres, we could see some amazingly long stints.

Fuel tanks are being reduced yet again, so I doubt this will happen.
I can understand why they want to do this from a "potential stored energy" point of view. But as in the case of the Diesels smaller fuel tank, fans and spectators never get to see the fuel economy aspects in comparison to Petrol cars etc.
