Hi Group,
The discussion of fuel costs at Mosport got the ol' gears turnin'...
This is a question for TR6 road racers only, although I'll welcome input
from others...
I have an 8 gallon fuel cell in my autocrosser. I had exactly one chance
to figure out my fuel mileage and it turns out that I was getting about
three miles per gallon (I burned exactly 7 pounds of fuel over three
one-minute runs that were almost exactly one mile in length.)
Granted - I ran all that distance in 2nd/3rd and WOT, but if I were to try
to get my car ready for an event like Mosport - at 3 MPG 8 gallons would
not take my around the track too may times before I'd need to "top off".
So - what kind of mileage do you guys see under racing conditions? Please
give me an indication of your tire size and final drive gearing. Thanks.
regards,
rml
p.s. yes, I know that 4th o/d is needed for the Andretti straight.
