The problem is that Elton Julian is simply wrong. The wording in that bulletin is not ambiguous at all. I've already explained that. And it's not 'a few days before the first race'. The bulletin spoken of was released on the 16th of April, over two weeks ago. And it's a refinement of the EoT set for the prologue where maximum fuel usage per stint was also already in the EoT regulations.
Also if you look at the quote, the [a few days part] was added in by the editor.
