Let's try that again, shall we?

75 miles/hour = 1.25 miles/minute.
45 miles/gallon = 9.89 miles/litre.
9.89 miles/litre = 0.101 litre/mile.
1.25 miles * 0.101 liter/mile = 0.126 liters

So now we have 0.126 liters/minute - a considerably larger value. (About 
a third of a coke can.) Still surprisingly small given the insane 
velocity involved.


(For what it's worth... I'm currently debugging a partial predictive 
matching engine that keeps telling me that symbol A currently has a 130% 
probability of being seen next. *sigh*)
