Sorry for the potentially dumb question, but why would you multiply it by 2...i KNOW there are 2 wheels, but they are both attached to the same bike. So if you ran 1 gator in front and a 4000s in the back, the rear tire won't speed up or be faster.

I am aware that the smart choice in my hypothetical situation would be to put the 4000 on the front.
Actually if you switched from running 2 Gatorskins while pedaling at a certain wattage to one Gatorskin plus a 4000IIs on either the front or rear you would move faster on those same watts provided your position, the road grade and surface remained the same as well as wind. Showing the wattage required per wheel allows one to easily look at just the case you're ringing up since the values are additive.
