How much fuel does your MX use on track?!

[Scho]

Hi all.

My light 1.6 used 80L/ £110's worth at silverstone yesterday

How much do you get through on a typical track day?

I'm going to assume they have pumps there?

Tank and a quarter at brands hatch on Tuesday. So around 20-22 mpg when I worked it out.
It is a standard very well cared for engine with low miles though. 1.8'mk2.

I took 50L of tesco's finest, got stung for the rest at the trackside pump.

Add £80's worth of derv juice for the return trip and you're into £190 on fuel alone.

Expensive hobby!

Any idea how much track time that bought you?

Mine was in almost constant use bar stoppages (and fill ups!)

I had a steady day to be fair... Plus it was a bit of a ref flag fest.
I think I did around 180 miles.

No, Not changed any!

What's the crack?!

From memory my last one in the standard Mk1 chewed a tank and a quarter at 18.5L/100km, which equates to...

um...

er...

15mpg.



Hate to think what the turbo one is going to drink!

i think mine gets between 10 and 15 mpg on track depending how hard i'm trying

[Dift]

Yes my 20-22 mpg is wrong! It will have been 15 ish mpg.

Last trackday I did I think I worked it out to about 6mpg
