1660 lbs of fuel an hour!!!! Holy gas bills batman!!!!

Do you know how many hours it takes to cross the Atlantic at 15 knots?? Tha't a lot of flippin fuel!!!!


Ok, it's approximately 3318 Statute miles or 2883 Nautical miles across (depending on departure and arrival of course). So, at 15 Knots (The average speed of most large container ships) that's 192 hours, and 319,081 lbs of Heavy Fuel Oil!!!!!!!! (That's about 45,000 Gallons!!)
