43 miles / 10.5 gallons = 4.1 mpg. Yikes... Anyone do better?

..

Maybe its because I was at a test n tune doing 55 runs! Between me and a codriver. Just trying to kill of my original OEM dunlops before TeamRX8's generous V710s arrive in the mail. Goodbye street tires, hello R-compounds. finally!

I have not gotten it down that low, but did average just under 8 for a whole day at the track last year.

My track days consumption is as worse as these.
31 L/100km = 7.58756724 miles per gallon

I get at least 150km a tank.
