If I remember correctly my 800hp N/A motors hit a Max fuel flow on the Dyno of 48 gallons per hour.
As was said above fuel is the cheapest part, even at $4/gallon. #6 drives are the cat's meow, but IF you were to blow one up you're out a boat load of money. My boat probably deserves 6's based on the size but in a weird way I'm more comfortable with XR's. At least if I obliterate one I'm out a few thousand dollars and back up and running the same weekend.

The confidence of having a good drive and not have to worry about drive issues or lost weekend is kinda priceless
