We tune most of our teams engines to about 9 mins on buggy and 12 mins on truggy depending on the surface. High grip surfaces will use more fuel. With this tuning we are getting 35 litres + thats about 9 gallons . All this will depend on the quality of your fuel. it has to have a good oil in it to reduce wear.

Hope this helps

I believe 9 mins. indoor on high traction, perfectly smooth, ultra low rolling resistance clay with an ambient air temp of 40 degrees f.
