Has anyone done any tests on how quickly tires wear? I did a couple laps last night in my Ariel Atom on the Bugatti Circuit and found that fuel depletion is definitely a concern. I started with 11.1 gallons and at the end of the 2 laps I was down to 10.6. The Bugatti circuit is 2.65 miles, which means I was burning fuel at 10.65 MPG.
I have no idea if that's even a reasonable number. I guess it is for a car with a V8.
I seem to remember Top Gear making fun of some of the supercars for getting like 4mpg when they were flogging them around the track, so 11 probably isn't that bad.
