[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 213517, member: 195"] Let me look in the ton of Data Books I have and see what I can find as I don't have that number off the top of my head. In all the classes I teach on different processes to convert hydrocarbon feedstocks to gasoline its always about btus for energy. This is rough oil field a pound of hydrocabon=20,000 btu's Gasoline weighs 6 pounds to the gallon diesel 7.5 pounds per gallon. This is why all the alternative fuels is a joke. Propane weighs roughly 3 pounds per gallon so you would have to burn two gallons of propane to travel the same distance as one gallon of gasoline. With hydrogen to travel from Houston to Dallas on 15 gallons of gasoline would cost eight hundred dollars roughly to produce the energy with hydrogen with today's technology. You would have to have two eighteen wheeler tanker trucks following you to fuel you along the way. The internal combustion engine stinks at best after the energy is burned in the engine power is being lost at an alarming rate due to gears, tires, road surface's, wind drag and etc. to a 30 to 35 % efficiency of the fuel burned.
