If memory serves me correct, doesn't a Winston Cup car hold 22 gallons of fuel?
78 laps at a 1.5 mile track means that Newman went 117 miles+ on one tank of fuel. His gas mileage would have been 5.38 miles per gallon. They did run a number of laps under caution and they say two caution laps equal one race lap. Let say that they ran 15 of the 78 laps under caution. This would equate to running about 71 laps on a tank of fuel, or 4.89 miles per gallon.
