DRE underfuels my car

If DRE underfuels you and you have to make a short splash towards the end of the race, here are some common things to try:

Set Fuel -> General -> Fuel Average Mode to Top Burn % to take the highest fuel usages across your laps
Set Fuel -> General -> Percentage of laps down to 15 – 25% to take only the worst of the worst
Set Fuel -> Fueling -> Fuel Buffer Laps to 210% or more
Lower Fuel -> Auto Fuel -> Auto Fuel Hysteresis down to ~0.48L to ensure any fluctuations from Auto Fuel calculations trigger new Auto Fuel applications
Lower Performance -> Lap -> Average Lap Time Laps to 4 – 6 laps to be more responsive to changes in lap times, so that quicker pace throughout a race is more quickly captured by DRE
