    8 minutes at 50km/h is 6.6km. At 5L/100km, that’s 0.3L.

    You realise there is no way even the worst engine ever built uses that much fuel to start?

      Not the guy you’re talking to, but this made me think!

      I wonder if some 60s american 8 liter engine would actually consume that much. I think it’s possible! Longer startup time, less efficient combustion…
