How Can Le Man Cars Drive Hundreds Of Miles at Over 140mph Without Running Out Of Fuel Straight Away

909 views

If I were to drive my Volkswagen with a V6 engine at 140mph, it would run out of fuel within an hour. How can these types of cars with V8 do hours of driving at over 140mph? What kind of black magic is this.

Edit: Thank you all for the answers.

Your first assumption about your VW isn’t true. You could definitely drive your VW at top speed for more than 140 miles. I think you are also making some false assumptions about the frequency that race cars refuel, how big their tanks are, and what kinds of engines they use.
