A 68 kg (150 lb) person walking at 4 km/h (2.5 mph) requires approximately 210 kilocalories (880 kJ) of food energy per hour, which is equivalent to 4.55 km/MJ. [15] 1 US gal (3.8 L) of petrol contains about 114,000 British thermal units (120 MJ) [52] of energy, so this is approximately equivalent to 360 miles per US gallon (0.65 L/100 km).
