The Longer Answer: A great way to calculate gas mileage for an airplane is to compare it's efficiency to a car. For starters, an airplane flies in a straight line ( as the crow flies, more or less ), while a car must follow the roads, which commonly deviate around both natural and man made obstacles. A 300 mile road trip in a car would typically be reduced by about 15-20% in an airplane. A comparison of a 300 mile trip in a Honda Sedan vs.

Volkswagen claims that the V-10 TDI Touareg will get 28.8 MPG "extra-urban" and 23.2 MPG "combined" according to UK figures. owner of a V-10 TDI Touareg in Florida reports a running average of 19.7 MPG in mixed driving and 28.5 MPG at a constant 50 MPH. See similar questions...

When it comes to runways, Cessna 150-152's are surprisingly good performers for airplanes with relatively low horsepower. Like other specifications, the Cessna "book" numbers are a bit optimistic, Cessna claims the airplanes can take off in less than 750 feet, and land in less than 500. Again wind pays a significant role. An airplane taking off and landing into a strong headwind will use only a small portion of the distance required without a headwind. See similar questions...

The mileage depends on the size of the unit and the dirving conditions. Usually, you will get between 8 and 14 miles per gallon. See similar questions...

The Short Answer: This is a fairly simple math problem. For starters, we know that the Cessna will use between 5 and 9 gallons of fuel an hour, (depending on the individual plane, and how much throttle is applied by the pilot.) To keep this simple, let's average the high and low fuel numbers, which gives us an hourly average of 7 gallons. We also know that the average airspeed is about 110 MPH. The normal tanks on a Cessna 150 contain 22. 5 gallons of useable fuel. See similar questions...

That said, on average, Touareg owners have reported about 14 MPG for the V8 in mixed driving. Average in-town mileage for the V8 appears to be about 12. The average reported highway mileage for the V8 is about 18. We have received a report from a V6 Touareg owner who has averaged 14.5 MPG in mixed driving during the first 800 miles.

The Longer Answer: The FAA specifies a legal maximum weight limit for all airplanes, known as "gross weight". For most Cessna 150's the gross weight is 1,600 pounds. (1,670 for Cessna 152's) For 150's prior to 1964, the gross weight was 1,500 pounds. See similar questions...

The climb performance of individual model years of Cessna 150-152's are very similar, but Cessna seems to have changed their measuring methods from time to time, so the book maximum altitude figures ( service ceiling ) vary from a low of 12, 650 feet to a high of 15,300 feet. In actual practice, the climb performance of these airplanes is sluggish above 9,500 feet. See similar questions...

Vehicles usually get between 7 to 13 miles per gallon. This depends of course on gross weight, the vehicle size, the speed that you travel, whether you are towing anything. See similar questions...

Besides the obvious FUN of zipping around town, through curves, down straight-a-ways and then coming to a stop on a dime, scooters are EXTREMELY economical. Some scooters get as much as 125 MPG (YES! That’s MILES per gallon!). For the popular TN'G Venice, mileage varies from around 60 mpg to over one hundred mpg, depending on how you ride. See similar questions...

Mileage depends on the size of the motor home, driving conditions, and how you drive the RV. If you drive the RV like you drive your car or truck you will get 7 or less MPG. Generally, you will get between 7 and 11 miles per gallon. You have to train yourself to be easy on that accelerator. See similar questions...

According to Cessna's specifications the cruising airspeed for a Cessna 150-152 is 105 KTS (nautical miles per hour), which equals 120 MPH (miles per hour). Like other airplanes, this speed is optimistic. When manufacturers test airplanes for specifications they set them up for the best possible performance, but production airplanes rarely meet the "book" numbers. Most Cessna 150-152 pilots agree that the airplane's average airspeed is closer to 95 KTS (about 110 MPH). See similar questions...

You can expect to see a 1-2 MPG improvement over stock under cruising conditions (ie highway driving). Hard driving will yield about 2-3 MPG under stock. See similar questions...

In full afterburner this car consumes about 10 gallons of jet fuel every second! It consumes 138 lb. of air in the process over the same time as well. In one mile this car burns 50 gallons. When you do the math it works out to .02 miles per gallon, or about 105 feet per gallon! See similar questions...

Might be due to, colder weather, winter grade gas, dirty PCV valve, dirty EGR, dirty air filter, dirt Mass air flow sensor (there is a spray you can buy to clean it out), dirty fuel injectors, low tire pressure, larger then oem tire size, front and/or rear end needs to be aligned, dirty air filter, weak battery or weak alternator. If you replace or clean any of the above pieces make sure you disconnect the battery for at least 15 minutes so the ECU will recalibrate itself. See similar questions...

AMSOIL Motor Oils reduce friction and drag better than petroleum oils and other synthetic oils, resulting in significant mileage increases. In a recent 1.2 million mile demonstration, AMSOIL showed a 4.5% increase in gas mileage. Other tests have shown greater increases under certain weather and driving conditions. Every vehicle is different, as are driving habits and conditions, and it is difficult to predict an actual increase. Top See similar questions...

YES. Extensive Wind Tunnel Testing has proven that our cover will improve the aerodynamics of your truck and therefore improve fuel economy. We make no guarantees as to how much the cover will play in improving your gas mileage. However, in highway driving, many of our customers have experienced as much as a 2 - 3 miles per gallon improvement. If you use the smaller number of 2 miles per gallon as the figure to calculate cost savings, the savings can add up. See similar questions...
