that's enuf oil to do "round trip" at around 75% WVO 25% pump fuel

i really only need two drums each way of oil, if i could find a source up north...

its about 5,000 miles thus the large quantity...
id get high teens to low 20s, do to the large load.
do to all the passes up there im figuring it at 17 mpg...

i gotta figure out how much space a model A takes up when its all in peaces....LOL
its not a car type, its a truck type model A

and figure in the space for the oil as well as the 1,820lbs of the fuel..
that's at 7lbs a gal for the 220 plus 40 gal in pump fuel.

shhhhhhhh
my goal is to not by a drop of pump fuel in Canada
