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.


How much gas does a 767 burn?

A Boeing 767 typically burns between 5,000 to 6,000 pounds of fuel per hour during cruise flight, depending on the specific model and weight. This translates to roughly 750 to 900 gallons of fuel per hour. Factors such as altitude, speed, and payload can influence fuel consumption. Overall, the 767 is known for its relatively efficient fuel usage compared to other aircraft in its class.


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.
