Is there an efficient and fast way to push my Race level in Heart of the swarm?
And does someone know how much time is needed to get every race to 30?

I know some people have answered this but I thought I could add a little data.
For gas, full saturation is 3, however the third isn't worth as much as the first two. As a result its worth getting a second geyser before putting a third worker on the first.
This is also true for minerals as shown by this graph:
As you can see after your first 16 workers the gain per worker starts to decrease dramatically. As a result when you start an expansion you should shift any excess workers (over 16) to the new expansion.
The original research can be found in this paper: Worker Income Efficiency in Starcraft II By Chet 'Cheticus' V. The paper reports original data collection and methods, as well as the formula's uses for the 'least squares regression.'
While you're attacking, pay attention to his economy & tech status. Do you see chrono boosts on an upgrade? Is his unit composition hinting that he's going to transition to something soon?
Did you kill any workers? How much army did he have left when your attack ended?
If you can put these together, mixed with a lot of practice and game sense, you can evaluate whether you are ahead or behind. In fact you will have the tools to know much better than he does, because you were at his base scouting the whole time.
Honestly it's not that important to know this though, because how would it affect you? Either you know you are so far behind that you must make a last-ditch all-in, or you know you are so far ahead that you can expand yet again and still hold anything he can throw at you or counter anything he has.
Anything in between and you should be careful to assume either way, as your game sense gets better and better with practice. Keep scouting.

The most effective way to level is to always do games that gives you exactly 50k XP points since you only get a fraction of the total XP you should get once you pass the 50k XP in a game (you get 67% less IIRC).
You can also try to cheese your way through since when you finish a game extremely fast, you get bonus XP for the game length.
Other than that, it's all about how good you play. The better your macro becomes, the more units you'll be able to pump out and the more XP you'll get. The better your micro will be and the more XP you'll get for killing units.
