Something I've been wondering about for a while...
OK, so you're a T2K character tooling around in your HMMWV in a normal manner, just sightseeing in the countryside or something. Then you get attacked. You're zooming your HMMWV here and there, zigging and zagging, hitting the gas then the brake here and there, sometimes flooring the gas pedal, etc.
The fuel consumption figures give the amount of fuel consumed in the average 4-hour period of driving and periodically stopping. How much extra fuel gets consumed in a 20-minute firefight? What about if you're driving hard and fast because you're trying to outrun your attackers?
Something I've thought about on and off over the years, but I've never been able to come up with a satisfactory answer to. (Damn, that sentence was grammatically incorrect!)
