Welcome from a fellow north-westerner!
With regards to fuel usage, the method Pawel provided is a good start although personally I don't always find it to be accurate.
You can calculate that yourself in a solo practice session. Do a few laps, see how much she drinks per lap and what your lap times are.
E.g. car uses 2 litres per lap, the race is 20mins long and you're lap times are 1 minute. That's 20 laps, 2x20 is 40 litres for full race... Then add an extra lap worth just to be safe
With tires, in 20 minutes races in most cars you can get away with using the softest compound and you'll be fine. It's the 1hr endurance races and high powered open wheelers where you may want to go for the harder compounds but that will come with experience and practice
Hope to see you on the track sometime!
