do the math. - truggy ->
1 tank = 150ml = ~10 minutes = ~900ml (~1 quart) per hour

czech nationals - 5x qualifier = 5x5+3 = 40minutes, 1/4 final 15+3 = 18minutes, 1/2 final 20+3=23minutes and if lucky 30+3final = 33 = total 114minutes so about 2litres of fuel x 6 races per season = 12liters or about 3 gallons x two clases

then of course ton of other races with some of them being 3x10+3 qual = 33minutes + 20minute final so about hour of runtime 5 time a season

it really depends how many races you plan to run and fuel cost is the least to worry about. all the travel expenses (car fuel, accommodation), car parts, tires are way more

yes it is quite expensive hobby
