I don't remember anymore. In the early 70's, at Miramar, the start of the "gas crunch" a friend who was a power plant/ airframe mech (Navy) told me what these held for fuel. We figured that in gallons, and even the old 70 440 RR got only 13.8 mpg, we figured one full fuel load of an F-4 at takeoff would run my RR for at least a year, maybe two LOL

At that time I was putting a LOT of miles on that car

That is cool, have been through there 6 years ago. They had a lot of the B-1B Super Sonic Bombers in storage there at the time. I remember thinking those are pretty new planes to be out here. They probably never really needed them for any serious confrontations, so there they sit. Like 20 of them sitting there at 12 million a piece . . our tax dollars at work.

Part of the deterrent program I guess, comes at a high price.
