They seem to want it to take the same amount of time to refuel all cars. Which is fine if they had the same fuel tank size, but the DW gets "rewarded" for having better fuel economy by getting a smaller refueling restrictor. Also, doesn't the diesel flow slower and therefore the Mazda is being actually taking longer to fuel by using the same restrictor size? GTLM has equally puzzling refueling restrictors.
They have always tried to equalize the 'fueling time', from empty to full, between cars in class.
