How much did they pay for fuel?

Awesome car and technology. The advantage they have over many of the other cars in the field (and ALMS) is fewer pit stops due to fuel efficiency.

Note that last year in the US, the most victories were held by a Porsche in a slower class. Not a diesel, but an incredibly well managed (Penske) team and technology.

By the way, their competition in LeMans was a diesel Peugeot. Its the wave of the future.
