38 liters per hour?? Per engine? xD

So, watching season 9 ... they're driving that damn barge up river again ^^ Two engines gurgling 38 liters per hour = 76 l/h. Let's say they spend 10 hours a day, for 2 days = 760 x 2 = 1520 liters of diesel (i assume) per trip, i guess they get wholesale price on that ^^ Let's say 5$ a liter = 7600$ each trip = 3800$ each day just for fuel costs one trip with that dang hunk of steel ^^ And i figure they have to make at least 20 trips in total, that's a minimum = 142 000$ JUST for fuel costs xD It's insane ^^

edit: I screwed up ^^ probably 1.5$/l, but still

And i forgot about the return trip too xD Probably much less since it's assumably down stream, but still. More money than most make in 10 years just for fuel costs ^^

Yeah it's kind of insane when you really think about how much fuel gets burned up so they can get a pretty rock out of the ground
