need help

What's wrong with my code?

racecar.py 
class RaceCar:
    laps = 0

    def __init__(self,color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
        self.color = color
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining

        for k , v in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, k , v)

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

The challenge instructions said "It should reduce the fuel_remaining attribute by length multiplied by 0.125." But the code shown replaces the fuel with the calculation instead of reducing it by that amount.
