Airliner jet engines such as a Boeing 737 burns about 3,500 pounds of fuel per hour at cruising altitude and speed. Thats a little over 500 gallons per hour per engine.

Does supercharging increases fuel efficiency?

Depends entirely on how you use it. One of the challenges with a combustion engine is to make sure that it's actually combusting every bit of fuel that it has sucked in, which it might not always do. Often there's a bit of unburnt fuel vented out with the exhaust gasses. Supercharging can, by providing better conditions for combustion (higher pressures/temperatures), make the engine able to burn a higher percentage of the ingested fuel, making it more fuel efficent. The bigger the combustion chamber, the harder it becomes to get all the fuel burnt. By using a supercharger on a smaller engine you can get the smaller engine to make as much horsepower as a bigger engine - but at a cleaner burn. Again, resulting in better fuel efficiency.


If a cruise ship moves 6 inches and burn 1 gallon of fuel how much fuel does it burn in a 100 miles?

Assuming fuel consumption is consistent, if the cruise ship moves 6 inches and burns 1 gallon of fuel, it would burn 1 gallon every 6 inches. In 100 miles, there are 6,336,000 inches. Therefore, in 100 miles, the cruise ship would burn approximately 1,056,000 gallons of fuel.


How much fuel does a top fuel drag racer burn?

A top fuel drag racer can burn between 15-20 gallons of fuel during a single quarter-mile run. These vehicles are extremely powerful and use a specially formulated nitromethane-based fuel that burns quickly to generate high horsepower.
