Of gas or diesel?
Petrol. Switching to the same model of car but a diesel engine would
reduce that to about 20 gallons.
Mine would use a lot more fuel than that. I think the last time I had
to move my collection it was something like 10-12 times that amount, for
only a part of my collection. Plus most of my machines don't fit into a
car. I need a 53' tractor-trailer. (Or segmented lorry?) And, even
then, it takes more than one load.
Hmmm.. A new
way to define ones collection - by the space it takes up! :)
Hm. Mine takes 30
gallons per hundred miles to move. Horribly off-topic (sorry Jay) but it gets confusing
when people on the
other side of the pond talk about running their cars on "gas". When we
talk about running a car on gas we mean LPG.
Sorry about that. It slipped my mind. I usually use "gasoline" when
talking to someone outside of North America.
