They could blast the ship to Venus in a few days- at so squandersome a fuel expenditure that ten ships couldn't carry it.

During the Vietnam War when fuel expenditures were much higher, reprovisioning at sea had taken place as often as once every three or four days.

"Can't you make an estimate based on fuel expenditure when we begin to accelerate the thing?"

The fuel expenditure could have been used in other more productive ways.

This increases the effective heating power of the radiator and so reduces fuel expenditure.

An object orbiting around any one of these five points would remain permanently stable, without the fuel expenditure usually associated with maintaining such a position.

Kenjo achieved orbit with a minimum of fuel expenditure.

I know it's a lot, but the fuel expenditure will be the same for one person as a full cargo hold.

The studies showed these angles would decrease aerodynamic drag, permitting increased speed and longer range with the same fuel expenditure.

I got as far as calculating the fuel expenditure when I noticed something.
