For the german GP there it says the fuel consumption is "low" but then I am told by tech director to fill atleast 4L of fuel per lap, which is pretty high. Its my first season so only have the specific data for races ive already run up until now. Anyone have any data on the fuel?

My tech guy is telling me 3.2L per lap and I watched a race a couple nights ago where one of the folks said they were burning 3.65L per lap. Thats a pretty good disparity but it gives you a few more data points at least.

The information given by your tech director is a guideline only.

If you have done a more than one season, what you can do is to look at least seasons results and check the amounts in there.
Click - Leagues previous race / Change the season and race to the one you wish and then go about half way down one of your stints and take the lap amount from the previous and you have your "In race" fuel amounts.
Here is one of mine from Germany last year.
lap 5 = 25.1
lap 6 = 21.6
lap 7 = 18.1
So both of these give you 3.5.. So you now know your average fuel usage... Add the laps you need and then add 1 or 2 ltrs for your out laps and in laps.. Done..
You are always better checking yourself on these as different fuel suppliers can have slight stats changes.
I hope that helps. :D
