Fuel Usage

I'm a bit disappointed with the race today:

i did Practice laps and they show me a maximum fuel usage of 2.17 in both drivers.

I calculated fuel consumtpion with this value, and i used level 3 and 4 as driver push during "Hard" stints.

my first driver:
According to my calculation, i use 37l for 17 laps (36.89l as estimated usage)

I noted in the report of the race an estimated consumption of 2.22 l/lap for the stint, it causes to me 0.62 less at the start of last lap

my 2nd driver:
According to my calculation, i use 42l for 19 laps (41.23l as estimated usage)

he pits at lap 18 with remaining 2.1l, an estimated consumtpion of 2.216+ l/lap

then i pits with 31l for 14 laps (yeah, mistake, i didn't correct situation) and pits after 12 lap with a consumption of 26.6l, still 2.216+ l/lap

i know there is a casual consumption per lap, but using 0.05l/lap meanings, in a 50% race, more than 1l. This, in a so competitive league like mine, it's a severe problem.

Fuel usage in practice is at PL3. If you're using hard tyres in low temperatures you're likely to be running high push for much of the time so your consumption could be up to 0.1 litre/per lap higher than indicated in practice which over a 17 lap stint is 1.7 litres. If you expect to be running PL3+ for most of a stint simply add 0.1 litres/lap to your practice fuel consumption to compensate for high push and calculate fuel load using this value.
