TTR 509 Report post Posted November 20, 2016 How much fuel do you guys tend to get through on a track day? 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeps 294 Report post Posted November 20, 2016 I usually go through a tank and a half now, 100 miles to a full tank. Drive the morning with 3/4 a tank, fill up at lunch, then keep on going until the low fuel light is on. First few trackdays I did on a single tank just because I wasn't putting the laps in.

Mike 458 Report post Posted November 20, 2016 I'd just go to the local Shell at Bedford, not far away at all, but yea, should be at least a tank at Bedford, depends how much you go out and when it finishes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ade 517 Report post Posted November 22, 2016 I typically go through a tank in morning and a tank in afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HariboPenguin 116 Report post Posted November 29, 2016 Haha, I was thinking the same when looking through it, there's an Austin Allegro and an Alfasud on there too I'd be up for a passenger ride if you don't mind. Would be nice to see what the car can do in the hands of someone with more track experience than me and pick up some tips. Even if it will probably make me want a supercharger afterwards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was behind you for about two laps and you were up another cars arse. I wasnt going to risk anything with tyres which are not great in the damp after Rich had this gone into the armco!
