Your right, the Army typically dosn't worry about
mileage. But during my time as an operations SGT I
vividly remember worrying a whole lot about fuel
consumption. Then again, this is an Army at war. Lots
more budget to go around.
I did mean 3-5 Gallons Per Mile. But that usage was
under load with an Abrams. so it might get as good as
3-5MPG without. At least thats what a driver told me a
few years ago. I remember thinking that it isnt that
much better than an Abrams mileage.
