S1 fuel consumption
#21
You asked a question based on some false assumptions and an incomplete understanding of fuel economy or more specifically, gallons per hour (as aircraft and marine). You got a very detailed answer from a two time Thunderhill 25 hr winning driver and crew chief who has several hundred hours enduro experience and is one of the worlds leading experts on all things NA/NB. Any you reply with "If you do not want to or cannot give them then don’t say anything."
Take a deep breath, toss aside your preconceived notions, tuck your ego away and google "Brake Specific Fuel Consumption".

I understand that some people will not share their data because they don't want to give up some perceived advantage that they think they have by keeping it to themselves. I personally do not subscribe to that. I find that even if I give up most of my data and setup information, people will not use it because they think they know better.
So I also fully understand BSFC calculations. I have already calculated a range of fuel consumptions for a myriad of various engines configurations for the K24 motor.
That is not the info that I am seeking and I am not making any assumptions.
What I am seeking is anecdotal "data" on fuel consumption as to what people have observed in real world situations using the K24 motors. So let me reword and present my question again.
If you have experience running a k24 powered miata in endurance racing situations, what kind of gallons per hour fuel consumption rates are you experiencing? Tell me about your car. Where do you typically race? Is that running all out or in fuel conservation mode?
