some nice example from those old day’s experiences:
consumption and fuel comparing…
rule of thumb numbers ( remember, those numbers come from 1944 )
1 liter gasoline = 2,5 kg wood
1 liter gasoline = 1,25 kg charcoal
1 liter diesel = 5 kg wood
1 hp = 0,8 to 1 kg wood
1 hp = 0,4 to 0,5 kg charcoal
Holz = wood
Holzkohle = charcoal
Personenwagen = normal car
Lastwagen = truck
Fahrzeuggewicht = curb weight in kg
Treibstofverbrauch = fuel consumption in kg per 100 km
if statement = 100 t/km, it means consumption per 100 km per ton vehicle weight
1 gallon = 3,78541 liter
1 Kg = 2,20462 Lbs
