Too Afraid to Ask

Fuel mileage is how far a car can go before it needs more gas. In racing, cars that use less fuel can stay on the track longer and may win because they don't have to stop as often.

Technical Definition

Fuel mileage, also known as fuel efficiency or miles per gallon (MPG), measures how far a vehicle can travel on a given amount of fuel. In racing, high fuel mileage allows drivers to complete longer stints without refueling, giving a strategic advantage.
