I guess it comes down to being "a class below" really, as far as speed is concerned. I've never owned a stock sports car that needed a refill during a track day. By track day I'm talking about your standard HPDE with (4) 20-30 minute sessions.

GS-R and S2000 both have 13.2 gallon tanks and after a track day they'd usually be just above E. IIRC the fuel light would usually come on as I made my way to the fuel station at end of day.

BRZ also had a 13.2 gallon tank (50 liters) and that might have needed more fuel to get through the day, but it was supercharged so that changes things a bit.

Cayman has a 16.9 gallon tank and at VIR is usually down to 1/3-1/4 tank at end of day. Gets about 9 mpg on track in my hands.

I run in blue group, usually solo, and am rarely slower than anyone with a less capable car. I'd be in white by now but I don't track often enough. (PCA color tier, that is)
