on average one bike has used between 2 & a half & 4 & a half litres per race depending on track size (or each one of ours has).

Of 8 rounds, 6 were 2 round races & 2 were single races (assen & donny) average this to 3.25 per race and dont allow for practice/qualifying, then you could use approx 45.5 litres (or approx 10 gallons??) in the season per bike
but we always use more than this as we take 2 x 20 litre jerry cans and use most of it for each meeting but that is for 2 bikes.We need a 3rd can if doing a TD the day before.
Add qualifying and also possibly the odd trackday before a meeting and the usage goes right up.
For example a trackday at Donnington for one bike just before the meeting used about 10 litres.

Cost a lot more in the summer as prices are down by about 10p a litre now.
