Suppose you have a track dozer that is a 325 fwhp diesel powered machine and it is expected to be operating at an average of 85% power and at a 48-minute hour efficiency.And suppose the cost of off-road diesel is $3.00 per gallon. Using the approximate consumption rate of 0.04 gallon per fwhp-hr, how much is the fuel expense for this track dozer per hour?
