    My four banger is only pumpin out about 7 gallons of fuel a race...(thats a calculations, since I never finished a full 100 laps, but i did almost half once)
    If theres nothing wrong with the car, maybe your pickup sensor is not calibrated correctly, You might think the car is full(22 gals) and your burning a full tank but in reality its only about 1/2 a tank
    I find that your selfish mind is a place to hide when you know what you are doing is wrong

    I did 85 laps and used right around 7 gallons is my 4 cylinder...that's second gear all the way around the track.

    as previously stated - I did 85 laps and used right around 7 gallons is my 4 cylinder...that's second gear all the way around the track.

    There are enduros run on bigger tracks with the same number of laps OR MORE and cars are making it without running out of gas...

    as prevoisly read too...still dont know what your saying...your car "used around gallons"???dont make much since... "is my 4 cylinder"??still dont quite understand...
    Maybe other 6/8 drivers cans comment on this, since all we know how to do is cut grass

    Sorry for the typo, I fixed it.

    I was talking to the gas guzzler, the part about being in second gear was the main point anyways...


    Also my car is a 4 door ford tempo, no where near a light 4 cylinder car

    going for what? 20?

    Maybe try to NOT run the tires off the car in the first few laps

    I still have the picture of you burning the tires up while stuck on the wall in the back stretch from the 2nd race...just never got it off my camera yet.
