That sounds like pretty good mileage? Depending on the size of the tank, 1000km is pretty good range for an automobile.
- afgasgbui 5y agoI guarantee you the tank is yuge compared to what you'd find in a normal car. All airplanes have big tanks.
- JoeAltmaier 5y agoWell no way will a 12,000 gallon tank fit in the car pictured. That's the size of a semi truck trailer. So to cruise 1000km it has to get way better than 12kpg or whatever.
