There was a joke before about Jerry's exceptionally low fuel burn numbers. So he did it again in order to further convince those using more fuel with their engines, that with a direct injected engine, it is in fact possible. THERE IS NO WAY, A TRADITIONAL AIRCRAFT ENGINE COULD OPERATE FOR 42 MINUTES ON SLIGHTLY OVER 2 GALLONS - INCLUDING ALL GROUND OPS, CLIMB AND LCAL OPERATIONS
