#1 1000 tons?

That's a lot of diesel. 2,000,000 lbs, to be exact.

What's diesel's specific gravity? It's less than water, I assume, and water is 8lbs/gallon...

#2 I wonder how much WMD left the country this way.

#3 .82-.92 from one source I found. Works out, if I count my toes correctly, to 205,000-230,000 gallons. Really big tank!

#4 About 6.7 lb/US gallon, IIRC

#5 Fred--I see you went to the article and posted more of it than I did originally. I'm just trying to save you bandwidth by severely editing my posts.

Have page hits declined with the lessened tempo of the war?

#6 Well I doubt Sunnie will be back anytime soon.

#7 Page hits are down, thank goodness. 25,000 hits in a day is good for the ego, really hard on the pocketbook. I've also done a few things to cut load. Feel free to post raw meat...
