Looking to my track testing day on Sunday, what is the average fuel consumption for a formula locost on the track?. Thanks for the reply Dickie, I might have to raid the piggy bank and send it to Darren's place for a full setup after lots of overtime over Christmas. Also very good rolling road in South East nice bloke and lots of tips www.sanspeed. co uk £88.00 for test & setting up of timing & carb

Ernie,

Locosts do about 11mpg round a race track.....

Agreed! I found that my normal (race) size fuel tank was good for about 30 mins, although this could be just under or just over, depending on the track.
For a full day test session I would always take 40 litres and use most of it. Petrol at the track will always be expensive.
