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.
Isnt that way the diesels have the smaller Fuel tanks? SO the distance per stint is bout the same.

IF the spectators saw the fuel millage, I think quite a few would faint dead away. 5-6 maybe 6 1/2 mpg on cruse mode.

OK figure how many laps they run on a fuel stint, and then the distance. We know how much fuel each carries.
