Well when I got it I ran like crazy and wasted lots of fuel. But now that I keep on buying crap for her its more like no fuel. I have only ran 5 tanks this year...LOL.

Ive only run a gallon and a half threw mine. and Ive had it 5 months. I dont really have time during the week to run it so if the weekend is nice is the only time I get to play.

RE: how many gallons of fuel you use per week?
I have ran about 15-16 gallons through the 2 of mine ,1 is little over a year old ,and the other is only about 3 months old.
Thats maybe a little over a gallon a month average for approx 15 months.More during warm, less durning the cold months.

RE: how many gallons of fuel you use per week?
My average is 1 ½ gallons to 2 gallons a month. I have used as much as 2 gallons in a little over a week. I went through ½ gallons today. When I go to the track I normally do about ½ gallon a day. Today I was just bashing my Savage for the first time in about 5 months. Normally I only race. I buy fuel by the case as I get it cheaper that way.
No time...[

Probably a gallon a month average - from April 'til October that is........
Done prob a bit more than that recently.., as I've been running every weekend for like the past four weekends, which is unusual - cuz the weather has been unusually good.. Also includes a lot of rich break-in tanks on two new trucks..
It's raining again, so maybe the good days are over.... I wish I had a backyard, then I could do some cleaning runs through the wet grass....

If the weather is nice, I can use *at least* 1 in a week. Just yesterday I went through half a gallon. You can say that I use my truck.[8D]

i only do that when i em useing a cheapo engine.....at the track i use the stock motor from a savage x and it works fine for my small track i dont need a high end motor once it blows i find something else cheap and run that at the track my last K4.1 motor lasted me 18 gallons and the only reson it craped out was becuase the crack shaft snapped at the oil hole and small peices chewed everything inside up.........the next day i found some one selling a NIB K4.1 motor and bought it for 50 bucks so i cant go wrong.......after this one dies out im goin to try out a sts 21 and see if i like it........its goin to take a while tho since ive one ran about 3 gallons on this new motor
on my high end motors there is no way id run a full gallon in one night...........that must be hell on the internal parts

I wonder why someone would bid one up that high considering they can get a MUCH better engine for just a few bucks more? [&:][8D]

RE: how many gallons of fuel you use per week?
i go through a engine every 2 weeks, run a gallon every 2 days or so.
HAHA JUST JOKING. i run about 1-2 gallons a month if my truck isnt broken, and i have a t-maxx so its usually busted up badly.
