RE: fuel consumption
And the size of the engine, and how rich you run it, and outside climate, and how heavy the truck is.
But my truck gets an average of 420 MPG, so I don't think you have to worry much...

An on=road car would probably be the most fuel-efficient because it pulls less weight and runs on smooth surfaces. It also depends on your driving style

Actually, it doesn't. The size of the fuel tank determines the run time, but not the efficiency.

The size of the tank would accually effect fuel economy because of the weight of a full tank. Although it would not be enough to notice one bit.

Seriously, don't consider fuel efficiency when looking at nitro's. As long as you don't go with like.. an Ofna Twin Titan.. your fine.

RE: fuel consumption
Hi
I have a RC10GT with a O.S. CV.12 engine, and I can run my truck for 20 min. with a 75cc fuel tank. Just imagine how long I could run if I had the 125cc fuel tank conversion kit for my GT.
