This last weekend's edition of the PBS program "Newton's Apple" had a
special on the shuttle and the astronaut training program. They mentioned
the "transporter" which moves the completely-assembled spacecraft &
boosters from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad had a
"mileage" rating of 35 feet per gallon of fuel (diesel, I believe).

(I believe that this is the heaviest moving vehicle on earth, by the way.)

Worse than a Caddy with a hole in the tank...
