Track MPG
I'm just curious... those of you who track your miatas a lot, how low do you get the gas mileage? Any single digits??
|
I have no data for the Miata, but my 3800 pound turbo Audi got 6 MPG around Watkins Glen :laugh:
|
With the way they drive, I'd almost be surprised if the n/a guys weren't in the single digits. Us turbo guys ought to be deep into the low singles.
|
Oh God...well into the single digits for me. I don't know exactly, but I did a track day at Talledega Grand Prix and I had to go to the gas station....twice, during the day.
|
Depending on the track, 3-5mpg.
|
5-9 MPG.

I spent an afternoon running pig trail in Eureka Springs last year and got 11mpg. Spent nearly 4 hours in 2nd and 3rd gear.
No track time yet so I can't report that. |
9-10mpg in my spec miata.
+1 for only ~$25 in gas per track day.:bigtu: |
If you guys would just slow down a little you could get better mileage and help save the earth by reducing your nasty single-digit-MPG-test-pipe-fitted carbon footprint.:fawk:

Edit: I'm typing this while I'm driving and I've had a liter of Aventinus and it's rush hour traffic. Woohoo! |
The last track day (HPDE) I went to was at Texas World Speedway on 02/14/09: it was a cloudy, cool day, and we had 40-minute sessions. I got 8 miles per gallon.
|
i average 6 mpg on track. When i was NA i would average 12-15 mpg. Im still learning and i lift wait then brake, im sure the more experienced are WOT till the braking zones. This could be the difference in gas consumption.
|
9mpg in a 113.9rwhp 92 Spec Miata at Rd. Atlanta.
|
He He... you guys with your MPG's. I measure by the session. Quarter tank for every 20 minutes.
|
I was going to say, I have no idea what mileage I get cause I'm busy, ya know, racing. Started with the needle dead in the middle of the gauge and 25ish minutes later it was gasping for fuel, below the E.
|
Who measures... I just top off each session :p
|
I have seen 13 mpg on my ass kikery of driving here in ky. I could have probly done better but the amount of cops and traffic slowwed me down quite a few times. The Damn country isn't what it was 20 yrs ago lemme tell ya. ;)

i hit 10mpg at 94whp, lol. Its going to be ugly with 3x the power. I'll pay $20 more per session to crush a few people.
|
I get 0 mpg because I am just running in circles at the track, and not really getting anywhere.
