GPL fuels milelage

        F3 Ferrari
        Watkins Glen
        9 laps between checks
        Start with 3 gallons fuel
        Finished with 35 gallons fuel

        I did a fuel mileage test with my Ferrari F3.  I put 3 gallons in the
car and did 9 lap.  Then checked to see what I used..

        I used 2 gallons of fuel.
        The track length is 2.3 miles
        9 laps is 20.7 miles

        20.7\2 = 10.35 miles/gallon
---------------------------------------------

        same setup but with 35 gallons fuel..

        I used 3 gallons.

        20.7\3 = 6.9 miles/gallon
-------------------------------------------

        Just to see how much fuel mileage is figured into GPL, I'd like to find
out what everyone else is getting for their own Ferrari setups and again
for everyone else(Eagle, Lotus, ect..).
