The idea will not be implemented, since too many of you rejected it with very valid arguments.
Especially one: the game was designed that way, so we must adhere to it.
Have 50 gallons of fun, Nick.
What I don't understand is that you were going to make it an "Optional Selection". Players will have the choice to create a game "As is" or use one of the modified fuel point systems you outlined. So by implementing your idea you satisfy both parties really, don't you? Players who don't want the more reasonable fuel point system could choose "As is" when creating a game. Those that want the more reasonable fuel point system could select one of the choices you described earlier. So you see, everyone would been satisfied had you implemented your idea. Which was a GREAT idea.
It was a great idea and maybe it will still happen someday.
