Less time spent at the gas pump means more time moving.
It was mentioned in an article about Bolian's run that they were able to pull up between two pumps, start them both, and run one into the car's tank and the other into the trunk-mounted fuel cell at the same time. Double the gallons per minute means half the time wasted!
I don't know if Toman/Tabbutt/Chadwick did that, but even at the same old gallons-per-minute, it means less time pulling into and out of a station, and is still valuable. Five more fuel stops at five minutes a piece would account for about half the difference between Bolian and Toman.
- slowhand09 7y agoThis was a brilliant logistical move.

(I would assume this is where their spotters helped too...to make sure there were two available and functioning pumps. Probably even to have credit cards swiped and ready to go as soon as they pulled into the station.)
