The article talked of having extra gas tank and if you watch one of the youtube videos there was mention of a "fuel cell". For me, they've gotten have done something to get a bigger tank. After all, it's true, the time you spend at 0 mph is time that you can't make up!

Sure it's exiting to read, but I don't find that this is related to high performance driving. Reminds me more of this. (http://www.darpa.mil/grandchallenge/images/Team_Pics/StanfordRacing_3.jpg)
