If your "slide in" is a 4 cyl. spinning at twice the speed of an 8 cyl van, I imagine you are probably correct.

If it's a 2 cyl. it's gonna be much less.

Well, I've seen real world numbers side by side. Our slide ins typically burned less fuel than the CDS machines. Performer 405's vs CDS 4.8's. Guys running the CDS would fuel every other day, the 405's would be 1.5-2 times a week.

I figure even if it uses 3 gallons per hr and I think it uses less than that , so that's 8.- I don't think that's going to kill me.
