What kind of fuel consumption do you have at 70?

Not good. :)

Probably somewhere around 20 gallons pe hour.

That actually sounds like pretty good fuel economy. 3.5 mpg.

Figure fuel consumption at half a pound per hour per horsepower. That
is the textbook figure.

3.25 X 1 X 200 = 695 pounds = 107 gallons rounded up from 106.92.

No offense, but I don't think so. :)
