Just to humor you, that would be a maximum of 230 litres (~60 gallons) of fuel for 1000km, if you went right at 50% of the final Group C allotment. Privateers can't afford to do the R&D to drop consumption b6 60%, and the top privateers will NOT settle for racing in the second class. For them, it's race for the overall, or they'll go somewhere else, period.

Energy-flow limits would be a perfect alternative. As the rate of fuel-flow is restricted fuel-efficiency will be the key for success, but drivers could still push the car to its limits. Engines and energy recovery systems could be left entirely free and unregulated.
