Since VXi23 does not include fuel cells, you could go out on a limb and claim that the listed fuel consumption is actually the 3* top speed rate, which would cut patrol speed consumption to a mere 1/12. But doing so could turn fuel cells/fuel electrolysis into perpetual motion. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
