I don"t know about the space shuttles but the fuel consumption of the Saturn V"s used in the manned Moon shots was humungous- bear in mind this is various types of rocket fuel, not anything you would find at a service station, but in the initial stage burns the Saturn V consumed- l6 tons of rocket fuel a second! that"s an average fully loaded Truck of the Mack type- 32,000 lbs, in one second!
