0-no danger at all, try it on a push bike, blindfolded, wearing a tinsel bikini.
then you're talking at least 4.. |

definately just a 1. assuming it is 3 feet wide, which is the worse of the two options.
Only thing to make sure of is that your car is not leaking fuel, specially if it is an LPG, CNG powered one. For petrol or diesol, I wouldnt even bother checking.
back of envelope type calculation suggests that at 50mph you will take 0.04 seconds to travel through the fire. Not a long time for anything to even slightly warm up.
Further traveling at that speed the car will be pushing a considerable cushion of air in front of it, under and on all sides. So unless the fire is well set the main danger is that it will be blown out! (poor fire) The flames will not even touch the car. |

About 5 for a petrol car, 3 for diesel, 6 for LPG or CNG unless the gas tank is inside the car's body (e.g. in the boot), in which case it will be the same as a petrol car.
Diesel is much harder to ignite than the other fuels. |

Is the wall of fire three foot high or thick? |

shell

It depends what you are driving - an open top car you'd better duck.
If it is a normal hatchback/sedan
2. You will pass through the flame before you notice. |

you'll be travelling fast enough to go through without anything bad happening, doubt you would even feel the heat. |

It depends on what level of danger is represented by the scale. If 1 is staying in bed and 10 is juggling flaming chainsaws while balancing on the back of a hungry Great White shark in a swimming pool in Bagdad singing 'I'm a yankie-doodle dandy' then I'd place it at about a 6. |
