42 feet per gallon

You know, 42 feet per gallon sounds pretty terrible, but I'd say moving 5.5 <i>million</i> pounds of equipment 42 feet with one gallon of gas is pretty damn impressive.

So, 12,8m/3,78541178l or EU standard combined: 29573,53l/100km?<p>I wish at least sciency articles used SI.

Mike Rowe of <i>Dirty Jobs</i> got to drive the crawler in one episode. It was a cool episode. You appreciate just how big it is when you see him standing next to the treads.

Article doesn't say how far it typically has to travel.<p>Traveling quarter mile, no big deal. Traveling 10 miles, much more expensive.
