NASCAR Racing/fuel milage

Question
what is the fuel milage of a sprint cup car?

Answer
The fuel mileage of a Sprint Cup car is about 3-4 miles per gallon. However, under caution the mileage usually doubles to be somewhere between 5-8 miles per gallon. An easy trick to managing fuel is to drive the car in 4th gear during caution which won't save much, but every little drop counts in NASCAR.

Expertise

I know almost every paint scheme and car model year from about 2000 and up. Stuff I'm not good with includes; car setups, aero packages, mostly the actual racing, but I do know a lot about the paint jobs and car models.

Experience

I have been designing real life NASCAR schemes for NASCAR computer games since about 2002. I know the placement of every little sticker on most cars. Even small things I notice, such as a different sticker on part of the car, and even what track the special paint schemes were used.
