Less fuel is better for the environment. That should be counterbalanced with safety, which they did - even with a bug and a heavy plane the plane still took off

Less fuel is better for the environment. That should be counterbalanced with safety, which they did - even with a bug and a heavy plane the plane still took off safely.
This means they are also leaving a safety margin of fuel, even though that costs extra money.
