My math is as follows:
90.65mi/106.6mpg = 0.850 gallons burned. Multiply by the density of your fuel to get the change in weight.
I was using the density of "any type of diesel fuel" in the WolframAlpha database to convert to lbs, but here it is with #2 Diesel instead:
density of diesel fuel * (90.65mi/106.6mi/gal) - Wolfram|Alpha
So, 6.03lbs, which is within a reasonable rounding error of 6lbs.
And yes, we did meet, because I think your car is interesting. |
Cool beans. We have some photos of the event on flicker, here is the link.
