how much fuel is needed to travel 850 nautical miles going 25 knots in a 46 foot searay cruiser
That's going to depend on whether you're sailing aboard a bass boat or an aircraft carrier. The question neglected to specify that critical distinction.
The DC-10 will burn approximately 15000 pounds of fuel per hour at cruise, which is equal to 2143 gallons. Divide by 600 miles = 3.57 gallons per mile.
Take the MPG that the vehicle will average divided into the miles you are going to travel. This will tell you how many gallons of fuel you will need. Example: 25 MPG on a 500 mile round trip will require 20 gallons of fuel. At 2.85 per gallon this trip will cost you $57 in fuel costs.
The fuel for single eninge planes costs around $5 a gallon.
