Need for speed the quest for more money

Isn't much different than a lot of other mobile games that require energy/gas/power or whatever to do something. You either way for it to auto refill or pay for it. It's dumb, and nothing I would ever spend money on, but it's an option for ADD kids.
 
EA is just aiming for ultra realism. It's that next gen experience. The next step is paying $3000 for that bumper-to-bumper rivalry last session.
