Playing this game i find out that Fuel Consumption is more or less at 4l per lap, but what would cunsumption be then if the Track Info says the consumtion is high or low, would it mean that and extra litre of fuel is taken every lap when high, or it is 1 less litre of fuel taken a lap when consumption is low?

You might start to think in terms of L/km or km/L (not L/lap)

Tracks have different lap lengths (km), and races have slightly different total lengths in km (with a few exception of big difference), so in order to get the fuel correctly it's better to think in terms of km instead of laps

To add to Mikko's statement, you should start building a bit of a database with all the influencing factors such as track stays, driver stat's, car stat's & weather. After a few races you'll start noticing patterns and predict it better. This is the case fir other things as well. Good luck and welcome to the game.

As you gather more data you will also find that this varies with car parts and driver skills, which ones it is up to you to discover. :)

I'd also advise you to find a team as most teams have pretty good tools for this stuff and even if they don't, 10 heads are better than one.
