What Kind of Fuel Economy Do You Get On Track?

I used to get 7-8mpg on track back when I had my Subaru on corn syrup.

Depends on the track, but we burn anywhere from 10 to 12 gallons an hour. Never figured it in MPG.

I burn 8 gal/hour in our Civic race car, which is very roughly 14mpg.

With my 5.0 mustang I get about 10 gal/hr. Two miles per lap, 30 laps, 6 mpg. With the 2.3 race car its about double that at 5 gallons per hour 12 mpg. Same track relatively same speed. Can you tell how slow I am at two miles per lap?

Oh man, a word problem!

I got into our new Fiat 124 Spider the other day and the fuel economy gauge said "14.2 mpg average". For a 40 mpg street car, we must have been working it a little hard

No odometer on the real track car, but I wouldn't trade its speed for efficiency. If I was running enduros, then we'd pay attention.

Back when I was local autocrossing regularly I was getting about 9mpg from my 05 Mustang GT and about 8mpg from my wife's '05 Cooper S. That's just using the onboard meters reset just for the runs.

Interestingly enough for my one 20 minute session I reset the onboard computer version. IT showed 7.8mpg. The whole tank netted 27.x on that one. I think that was 12 or 13 laps at Putnam. I probably spent 80% of the time WOT with the Forte after I got comfortable.

Is it wierd to say that I don't keep track?

According to the trip computer, my 328is gets 6.0 MPG autocrossing. My Civic used to get close to 30.

The saturns we ran in chumpcar would go 1 hour 45 minutes on 12 gal. At beaverun that was about 76 laps. I don't have data for other tracks handy.
