Stints and fuel

Can anyone tell me why when i set my stints in practice and do not turn up for races it makes the race stints fine, yet if i turn up i run out of fuel a lap early and have to pit again?

This keeps happening to me and its getting stupid.

I put in fuel for the race, set it to push level 1, it stays there all race yet i run out of fuel,  HOW?

Maybe your PL's don't save, or your amount of fuel in the strat, always double check

I would guess it's push lvls. When you live manage you are almost definitely using higher push lvls and this can easily burn an xtra litre of fuel or more which would cut a stint short 

Nope and nope.

It did save and i tested it on lowest push level and left it there the whole race.

1 race i dnt watch i make the stints fine

1 race i watch but dnt touch anything and i eun out of fuel.

Just tested itvagain and this time i put 2 extra laps of fuel in for the last stint and i crossed the line just before running out.

Its always the last sting too.

Put in 15 laps in any other stint and i get 15 laps, last sti t i need to put 2 laos extea just to make it.

????  Odd indeed.

Not odd at all as i totally know where you are coming from on this one!!!

Its not consistent enough either as it always seems to happen when you dont need it to happen!! Lost 6 spots in the race once due to this!

I have observed that the game overestimates the fuel you need when your Fuel Economy stat is low, and underestimates the fuel you need when your Fuel Economy stat is high.

You can't rely on the number of laps the game suggests. I always calculate the fuel myself. If practice runs say fuel consumption is 2.4L/lap, and I want to do 14 laps, I calculate 2.4 * 14 = 33.6L, and round it up to 34L.

This.

Lol, somyour saying dont trust the game, thrn why does it jump per lap when you put fuel in.

If the game is wrong it needs fixing, or it needs to be taken out so everyone knows you need to calculate it yourself, leaving it broken just causes problems.

So how does it work ok when he doesnt watch the races yet doesnt work when he turns up.

Either the game is right not?

And why always last stint?

For a game thats been around as long as this its as buggy as hell.
