How much fuel does a formula 1 car use?

Answer 1

The fuel used in F1 cars is fairly similar to ordinary gasoline, albeit with a far more tightly controlled mix. Formula One fuel can only contain compounds that are found in commercial gasoline, in contrast to alcohol-based fuels used in American open-wheel racing. Race fuel consumption rate is normally around 75 liters per 100 kilometers traveled (3.1 US mpg - 3.8 UK mpg - 1.3 km/l).

Answer 2

The tires used in F1 cars are similar to the tires used in road cars but they are made from a superior quality of rubber so that the tires can withstand the high speeds and pressures of being in a car that runs to over 300 kmph. The tires can be inflated only with air or nitrogen. The tires for all the teams are supplied by only one team to ensure equal performance from tires.
