I guess the inherent question is what is the thrust hour/ pound (I just made that unit up) for each powerplant (diesel, gasoline, Turbo Jet, Turbo Fan, Turbo Prop, ram jet, something else I'm forgetting).

Only reason I'm not saying GO DIESEL is that Dick Routan didn't use diesel power for his round the world on 1 tank plane. Maybe the high octane of AV gas makes it more practical, I totally don't know.
