Hmmmm, interesting facts-I do think the comparison with a 747 is a bit lame though "Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1-1/2 gallons of nitromethane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced."-doesn't actually compare since the 747 is burning what is basically parafin whereas the dragster is burning rocket fuel.................
