Old Smokey,

"Fuel is definately NOT a factor for ETOPS."

...perhaps not on the sector you have illustrated.

Were you to operate certain other sectors over oceanic / wilderness areas, or the ERA's were closed at night, you would be constrained by the Critical Fuel Scenario (see above) and fuel most certainly would be a factor, and your plog would show many tonnes "ETOPS Additional Fuel".
