That puppy only gets 24 MPG when the engine is OFF! To run it full out he will need more gas than his tanker can carry.
Back in the day out in West Texas (Laughlin AFB, Del Rio, TX) you could run as fast as you wanted on US 90 heading to El Paso. At one point I had an original Chrysler 300, 1955 vintage. I had it wide open on Rt 90 and I was passed by a Texas Highway Patrol in a Hudson Hornet with "twin H power", do you remember them, won the Pan Am race many years in the late 40's and early 50's? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Real nice! That car is why airbases have twelve thousand foot runways! When I questioned his purchase he rationalized by saying the Shelby Mustang Cobra was one of the few muscle cars that still could get 24 MPG. |
Of course when the Mustang is floored he could use his KC-135 tanker flying alongside.
