I don't know. I always top the cell off after each run for more weight over the rear tires. I have a 10 gallon cell and can usually drive wherever and back on the one tank.

Use WAY more driving around and warm ups than actually making a pass. I use a gallon or so to make a run from pit to pit. I use more warming it up in the morning.

Race fuel at track in Vegas...$25 per gallon. AV gas in Okeechobee FL yesterday...$5.99 per gallon $25 you must be running the good stuff, I pay less for Q16 here. There are cheaper option for fuel here for sure. The track only supplies VP. But we have Sonoco and Torco readily available as well.
