I need help with the challenge

It's given me "Bummer: Try Again" and I'm not sure when I'm doing wrong. Help will be appreciated, Thanks!

racecar.py 
class RaceCar:
    laps = 0
    def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining,**kwargs):
        self.color = color
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)

    def run_lap(self, length):
        laps += 1
        fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining - (length * 0.125)

You need to remember to use 'self' when adjusting fuel_remaining (self.fuel_remaining)

class RaceCar(object):
    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.fuel_remaining -= (length*0.125)
        self.laps += 1
