If you're using AUTO-ACCELERATION, fuel is just gushing out of your tank alllllll the time -- you're burning fuel even when you're braking. It adds up. These events are essentially a test of your ability to drive with manual acceleration, so that when you lift off the gas, you're REALLY not using any gas. THe more you coast, the less gas you use. That's probably the only "trick" here, which of course, is not a trick. It;s just driving. When you learn to COAST into turns, rather than brake hard under acceleration, you can carry a surprising amount of speed, get around the track just as quickly, and conserve lots of fuel in the process.

If you're already using manual acceleration, then something else is going on with your setup.

Hope this helps. Cheers!
