If you have 1000 hp and it runs on gasoline you should burn about 500
lbs of fuel an hour.. 500/60=8.33 lbs/minute X 2 minutes = 16.66 lbs for
the run 16.66/6.2 lbs/gallon =2.69 gallons . How small is the cell ??
Or how much power do you have ?? if you have a 200 mph ride you should
be under power for less than 2 minutes.. and the faster you go the
shorter the ride. A 1000 hp streamliner should burn less fuel than 200
mph lakester..
