Bob and I use almost exactly a gallon a day for a two-driver car. Seems
to be true both for local events and for Nationals, even though we get more
runs at local events. I think there's just a lot more driving around at
the big events, even if less time is spent on course.
Our cell needs about half a gallon to avoid starvation, so we like to start
the day with about two gallons in the tank, which leaves plenty of room
for reruns or fun runs or whatever. If I were going to build an
autocross-only car, I'd probably use a three gallon cell. But don't
forget about resale value...
