Well, if his cars are that much better than those of the competitors, then the fuel economy shouldn't really matter, as he would have plenty of time to fill up during a pit-stop...though this would not be realistic for early 20th century racing. Then again, fuel economy shouldn't have much of an impact during that timeframe anyway, as races back then were IIRC rather short. I think we can all agree that racing needs to be fleshed out a bit to be more fun and realistic - the more or less arbitrary budget slider really doesn't do it for me. But of course a proper racing part would be a huge endeavor and it would probably be best to save that for a possible expansion, as there are entire games devoted to the subject of racing siimulation alone - and even they have plenty of shortcomings. Nevertheless, some more details and changes could make racing more fun without too much work IMO...
