I dont know why im getting this error on this class challenge.

Does anybody know what is wrong with this code... I am getting an error that says ""Bummer: Did you adjust the fuel_remaining attribute?
""

racecar.py 
class RaceCar:
    def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
        self.color = color
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
        self.laps = 0

        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)

    def run_lap(self, length):
        self.laps += 1

The message is reminding you that you haven't done part of the task yet.

The instructions say that the method "... should reduce the fuel_remaining attribute by length multiplied by 0.125."

It's like how you added 1 to the laps, you can make that calculation and subtract it from the fuel.

        self.fuel_remaining -= length * 0.125
