Guest tony78_280z Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 "Fuel consumption should be at around 12-15 Gallons per hour." Interesting way to rate gas milage? Gallons per hour. How many miles per hour you need to run to make that economical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave88SS Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 "Fuel consumption should be at around 12-15 Gallons per hour[/u']." Interesting way to rate gas milage? Gallons per hour. How Gal/hr or Lbs/hr is normal for turbine operation. You typically don't have an odometer in such a vehicle many miles per hour you need to run to make that economical? If you have to ask, you can't afford it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Looks like something Wile E Coyote would drive. Can't imagine getting a safety inspection for that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some-Guy Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 thats pretty wild but Mostly useless for the price it costs to fix/run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 yeah, if you think about it you're paying for the chassis of a z, and some fabrication work. the bulk of the cost is going to be in the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
