   What do people go through whilst at track???

My Gen 2 has cans n map2 only,and in 2 days at snetterton I've gone thru best part of 75 litres. However Stew on his BB Gen1 only went thru 60 litres I think

I don't care about the fuel used but I am curios as to how my bike uses so much more

	open pit track days at knockhill on a modified but road going R6 I used to go through 50+ Litres a day. But I was doing a lot of laps. Goodness only knows what the Mille would munch through in a day and an open pit . - I think that I would need to add a fuel bowser to the trailer.

	I went to the nw200 a couple of years ago on my VTR Firestorm with a mate on his VTR he used a tank more fuel 16 ltrs more fuel than I did. Bikes had modd air boxes race cans mine art cans Paul's renegade high levels,bike were jetted the same as well, I had a quick blast 130 paul 110 he still used more fuel. it's quite hard to get figure for fuelling as we all ride differently even when we ride together.

	On my gen 2 I get through about 25 litres per day, that amount is slowly going up as I get quicker though. A lad who is faster than me uses 7 litres per 20 minute session, which would be 84 litres for two days at six sessions per day.

	I am in a similar boat,last time out at Anglesey I had about 8 litres in the tank & 20 litres in my gerry can and couldn't do the last session due to using all I had and the fuel light coming on in the second to last session, I have bought a power commander but not fitted it yet I have heard they can improve fuel consumption?
