About how much air is pulled through the average internal combustion  
engine in order to burn a gallon of gas I wonder?  My Echo, at 60 mph  
will run for over 40 minutes on a gallon of gas.  The roadster at 60  
will run for a bit over 30 (roadster content)  I have no idea how the  
weight of gasses is calculated, but it sounds like quite a large  
volume of exhaust gas.
