[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The fuel to ship cars is huge. [/quote] actually shipping a car across the ocean is pretty cheap and fuel efficient when compared to other methods. rail being the closest. assuming a fully load semi and a fulled loaded ship assume one car weighs 2 tons a fully loaded ship can travel 576 miles per gallon of fuel per ton of cargo (8000 cars = 16000 tons) so each car = 288 miles per gallon a fully loaded tractor trailer can travel 140 miles per gallon of fuel per ton of cargo (9 cars = 18 tons) so each car 70 miles per gallon distance between LA and Japan is 5500 miles to ship a car via boat is 19 gallons to ship the car the same distance via truck 78 gallons.
