I was joking with some friends about how many dinosaurs it took to fuel the beast and found this well done google answer about carbon content of a T-Rex turned into crude oil and refined into gasoline and thought others might enjoy it as well!

Google Answers: Carbon content of fossil fuels and dinosaurs

The only mistake they made was using the wrong dinosaur ... with the weights from Wikipedia looks like it would be about 30 Velociraptors (which were actually quite tiny) or 1 Utahraptor (which were more like the size of the clever assassins in Jurassic Park) to fill the 36 gallon tank.

Very interesting... That means that one T-Rex will fill up my tank 12.7 times. Maybe we should raise them as in Jurassic Park, it could solve some of out problems, it could replace E-30...:mfr_omg:
