Message text I like the idea of giving everyone a 20 fuel bonus. It should eliminate most of the "Victories by superior fuel tank" games. The few extra turns it buys should help in determining a winner.
I disagree with any proposed rule where someone "still in the game" is assigned a victory over someone with a higher score. Case in point: Squadron action- Fokker DVII downs 3 enemy then retires due to fuel. The last Spad XIII spends the entire game creaping at speed 1 on the board edge, never fires a shot. The spad is the "winner" after all the Germans run out of fuel???
If you are not fixated on one winner each game (i.e tally of total games won), you could shift the statistic to "total victory points". Then you could assign 1 victory point for highest score, 1 victory point for being alive, 1 victory point for still flying and 2 points for your side "winning". This might encourage those to stay on the board and promote teamwork.
