Your calcs are correct [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
but there are some flaws.
1. I said
nice car at
top speed and was therefore thinking about something in the area of 200
mph, 320kph, 90m/s
2. A good diet is 2500
kcal/day so that energy won't last very long. In fact it's about the energy value of a litre of milk.

We would need temperature and pressure readings every 1000 ft (300 m), since these have a direct effect on the gas being used; of course, we could assume a simple gradient between readings using linear interpolation.
Many, many variables there....

Okay, I'll give you a hint: I'm looking for REAL rainfall, i.e. Water.
