The old stroker engine with the flowed 750cfm DP used about +/- 17 gallons to 
finish the 90 mile course.>>

Also keep in mind that horsepower costs money AND fuel. Jr Wilson's 572-inch 
monster-block Pantera had 800+ horses and his dual-1100-Dominators sucked a 
37-gallon fuel cell dry of 106-octane in 87 miles... That was the year he 
COASTED the last 3 miles for an average of 172-and-change. Cheers-. J DeRyke
