Default Confirm Track MPG

Can any other trackers confirm that they are getting 10 mpg on the track like I have the last 2 times? Does anyone else find this very odd? My del sol VTEC upon being hammered with 10+:1 compression and 100hp/liter would never go below 20 mpg no matter how hard I pushed it.

start: Full tank

First day:

100 miles (2 bars remained)

Second day:

90 miles (4 bars remained)

I calculated my mileage one day at Gingerman and I recall it being around 7 mpg.

I get between 8 and 10mpg. Do I find it odd since I'm driving flat out all day and I normally avg. 20-22mph during normal driving? No.

Do you get better mileage during your daily cycle w/ the S2K or the Del Soak, Todd?

Unless you compare the same kind of laps on the same kind of track, it does not mean anything. If you were able to really flog the Del I doubt it got 20.

I agree with the rest of the guys, track mileage is about 8-9mpg.
