Yeah yeah yeah, I understand the drill. I don't normally keep equipment
for transporting and handling gasoline around the house. Heck, I figured
that the rate of gasoline consumption when idling would have been
determined long before I got this van, and would have triggered a slew
of "it's in the archives, you lazy so-and-so" responses. But I was
wrong. I was very wrong. I gather that I'm the only one who has ever
needed to know this information.

Time to break out the white lab coat, clipboard, give my attractive lab
assistant, Inga, a call, and do my own darn research!
