240 miles round trip to the track, seven 30 minute sessions at the Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton WA. Filled up before leaving, 2 times during the day (when down to 1/4 tank) and 1 more before going home. Ended up home with quarter tank. Figured we used around 45 gallons. Driving home and having your miles to empty state 50 miles to empty when your just under a half tank is funny.


Never had any starvation issues running it at 1/4 tank or under.

My GT has fuel starved, both times well under a quarter tank. Last one happened at my home track which I wasn't expecting since it's mostly right turns.

I ended up driving like 3 corners without power until it refired.

Poor car. Not doing that again.

My experience is similar to the rest here. Even with limp mode thrown in I had to refuel after 3 20 minute sessions and was under 1/4 tank again before the end of the day (additional 3 sessions). I didn't have a problem with fuel starvation at under 1/4 tank.

I filled up before going on track at Thomson Motorsports, and did 5x 20 minutes sessions, and I left with less than half a tank. But it was in pouring rain.... she never saw past 6500 rpm's.

Sunday at Laguna 5-6.3 mpg. 5x 20 minute sessions. Filled every 2 sessions to 1/2 tank. Ran it to less than a 1/4 tank pulling 1.2gs with no starvation indication.
