      Since you’re in a roundabout, you just need a large funnel into the gas tank. Every time around, someone standing at the side pours a bit of fuel in while you pass, so you get a splash of fuel per lap!

      Just add a long range tank in the trunk.

      A normal car can do 1600 km or 1000 miles on a tank. By normal of course I mean diesel-powered German executive class sedan or wagon with an 80 liter tank.

      At the low speeds of the roundabout, you might use more fuel, so maybe it’ll only do 1200 km on a tank. Just use a long range tank and you’re golden. They use them in endurance racing, or to go illegally fast for extended periods of time in Cannonball Runs.

      There’s a few diesel cars that can reach that distance on one tank (though it requires hypermiling)

        I did not know

        hypermiling

        means making post-purchase changes to your car to make it more efficient. Why wouldn’t manufacturers sell them in better quality to begin with?
