[DeTomaso] Predicted mileage at 200 MPH

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Little Bro',
   
  I love you man but if you are talking about taking your sexy co-pilot wife with you on your record attempt who I might add is also a "COP"  with you in the Pantera then you live even more dangerously then I ever knew. You lucky bastard! ;-]>
   
  You come down to Ely and run 200 MPH on radar through the traps and Team Pantera Racing will pay your registration costs and all the beer you can drink.
   
  Remember she is licensed to KILL

      So I guess it would be some kind of new record if I pull my string out at 200??? Does it still count if I have a sexy copilot pull it out for me. That way I can keep my eyes on the road.

  Will,
   
  I warned Tom not to pull my finger!
   
  Its called 'pucker factor'  if you can pull your own string out at speed you ain't going fast enough...Remember that Blaine!  ;-]>

The bigger question is how much gas is released by md after the race.

Gauging by the smile on Tom D.'s face, it must have been a lot.

Out of curiosity, I tried to estimate how much gas would be burned to
travel 100 miles at 200 MPH assuming 500 HP is required to maintain speed. I
came up with:


1 HP = 42.21 Btu/min
so, 500 HP = 21,205 Btu/min at 100% efficiency energy conversion
but assuming 33% efficiency, 500 HP requires 63,615 Btu/min 

1 gallon of gasoline contain 115,000 to 125,000 BTUs

at 120,000 Btu/gal, 500 HP will burn about 1/2 gallons per minute
so, at 200 MPH, it takes 30 minutes to travel 100 miles, and 15 gallons of
gasoline.

It seems reasonable, about 6 MPG. I've never done this kind of calculation
before, does anyone see an obvious error?
