Yes it struck me as quite high but then anything diesel powered and
not licenced for road use probably runs on red. Construction
machinery and the like.

I was once involved in testing two 24MW gas-turbine powered generator
sets. We burnt 250,000 litres while testing. Peak rate was 120 litres
per minute! A very, very small quantity of it was used for the on-site
crane, forklift, welding sets and lighting towers.
