1600 gallons an hour...I guess that kills the resale value too!

Holy crap!

What's amazing is that it's 50% efficient considering it's size.

I know they compare it to an automotive engine that's 25-30% efficient, but isn't that unfair anyway? Aren't diesel engines typically around %50 efficient?

Yep, diesels are always more efficient.
