Default Re: So, you think you know everything?

"The cruise liner, QE2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it"

This is true. I used to be a Merchant Marine and was on a 948' miltary supply ship, this ship could do 30+ kts.!

At full speed it would burn about 4,000 barrels a day!

1 barrel = 42 gallons = 168,000 gallons every 24 hrs!

Do the math, it comes out to just UNDER half a foot per gallon!

....and you think your carbed OB sucks fuel!
