For those of you that follow NHRA top fuel drag racing and ever wondered how much nitromethane fuel is used in a run, as I did, seeing this is just amazing!! Enjoy!!

One 1/4 mile run uses as much fuel as the gas tank in a Camaro holds. The burn out alone uses about 10 gallons.

Yeah it's pretty crazy for sure! I have seen on TV when they talk about how much they use and say about 19 gallons per run, but to actually see this video showing that, unreal the flow amount going into the cylinders and burnt, if they all stay lit!

And I thought the 454 in my daily driver late 90’s Silverado 2500 was thirsty!
