Bizarre FE in motorsport

I was thinking last night about MotoGP andits limited 21litre tanks.

the bikes do an install lap from the pits, a warm up lap, a 29lap race(@france) and a cool down lap.

so 32laps of a 4.185km circuit = 133.92km / 83.214miles

and the 21litres = 5.547 US gallons

which means from 800cc / 200+ bhp bikes on a track where they spend 70% of a lap at full tilt achieve.....

15.0016MPGus

makes you think about those big car we are soo fond of
