welcome Michael  Smile

I started racing like two months ago, and I have to learn a lot too ;-)
The fuel thing happened to me too. If you do a few laps during practice/training sessions, watch your dashboard. There you can read the amount of fuel per lap. A 60 mins. race is mostly somewhere between 30 and 35 laps and you can compute the needed fuel.
I use an app called RacerData which shows you, among other stuff, the fuel range (laps or mins.) with the current fuel load. 

And I highly cecomment (if you don't own already)  CrewChief  Smile
