1320 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) My heavy, superlong 4 passenger 3.3 subie, is a gas mizer. 2/3 days, with enough driving to make your arms sore, from steering and Ill use 20-25 gallons. With the quads, and samurai, I fill them all up, and take 25-40 gallons. I know a guy with a two passenger v8 car, runs good on the hill, and he ll take a 55 gallon drum of race gas and use it all in three days. I probably dune three times more then he does too. Its actually his biggest complaint. Between his rail and motorhome hell spend 500$ for thurs night to sunday and thats pulling an open car trailer behind his motorhome. I pull a 50 ft enclosed with my cummins, with two cars and 5 quads inside, and I use 20-25 gallons in th etruck round trip and then 25-40 in gas in the toys. My total fuel bill is half of his at the worst and I ussually leave with gas still in the jugs. Edited October 20, 2008 by 1320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randog Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I burn about 5-6 gallons of F&L SP1 111oct. a day. Mine's a 3.5L Honda turbo 2 seater. Did you already pick a motor package? That will have a lot to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefoot bob Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 i use 5 gallons to start my rail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camp host Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I have a Subaru 2.5L four seater and I use 5-10 gal. a day of VP 110. Race fuel is one of the things I would reconsider if I was getting another car. High octane fuels are expensive and kind of a pain in the a$$ to store.

Co-Driver Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 i use 5 gallons to start my rail :porn: True that! I can easily go through 80-100 gals. in two ta three days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme air Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 i use 5 gallons to start my rail x-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noozeyeguy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) I have a 3.5l V6 (Shortstar) small LT 4-seater, I prolly burn 5-6 gal/day with moderate use. 30 gal gets me thru a 4-day weekend (buggy and three quads), usually with some to spare. Last Glamis trip I had 10 gal left over, but then again I burned up my clutch on Saturday. I'd 2nd the thought about avoiding race gas, my life is much easier since all the toys burn 91 pump gas. Although I do love the smell of race gas in the morning... Edited November 4, 2008 by Noozeyeguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
