Default Fuel consumption?

Just curious. I heard that the top fuel racers normally burn about 15 gallons of nitro during a single run. How much fuel are the top guys in imports burning?

i would have to estimate less than 1 gallon from the time the car is started before the water box, until it makes it to the return road. probably closer to a half of a gallon.
