I agree with this line of thinking if teams are forced to decide between Fuel OR Gears. But since teams can choose to do both, I think the numbers will work out differently for many teams.

I'm sure many teams are going to do what I call "Super Cycles" where they score a Gear and Fuel in the same repeatable sequence. For these teams I suspect they will choose to intake Fuel while driving to and from the Retrieval Zone and after they are finished depositing their Gear, they'll make a quick pit stop in the Key to score their collected Fuel. The time it takes to do this pit stop will determine the effectiveness of the Super Cycle vs. cycling Gears only. If things work out the way I'm thinking they will, teams that do Super Cycles will be more efficient (and a more valuable alliance partner) than teams that only have Gear cycling capability.
