In my experience, turbines are THIRSTY! Chrysler found that out 50 years ago, Rover before them. Here in the model builders world, miniature turbines are the rage, and their fuel loads are outrageous! I run small diesels, and the fuel tanks are really small; models running 90mph for miles on 1oz of fuel.
US safety laws have made sure that we must buy heavy vehicles so that we survive running into bridge abutments at 55mph; answer is not to run into bridge abutments at 55 mph. The extra weight costs us fuel, period. |
