Context: Benchmarks show WASM instructions are ~20x faster than EVM instructions, not 1000x as originally estimated
Change: Updated FUEL_DENOM_RATE from 1000 to 20 to align with measured performance characteristics
Rationale: Original 1000:1 ratio was placeholder value. New 20:1 ratio based on empirical benchmarking maintains gas equivalence with EVM while accurately reflecting execution costs
Verification: All fuel cost constants in fuel_procedure.rs scaled proportionally (divided by 50). Test assertions updated to expect new gas consumption values
BREAKING CHANGE: Existing WASM contracts with explicit ConsumeFuel() calls will consume 50x more gas per unit of fuel. System builtin operations remain gas-equivalent to EVM
