I think the fuel problem was the early loss (apparently due to venting) just after take-off had them concerned over asia since they weren't able to find as strong a jet stream as they had hoped over extended periods.
They were relying on flying alongside the jet stream to save fuel...

He wants to drive it up the taxiway so the crowd can see the plane. What a guy!
