This is correct. Everyone in the US calls a kcal a calorie. I learned to distinguish them with big “C” and little “c”, but I’ve just looked it up and this is apparently not so common. I guess ppl who are aware of these things just go with the SI unit of kJ.
Gasoline has about 31,000 calories not 31 million calories
Hence the title :)
So just 31kcal in one gallon? That doesn’t seem a whole lot.
I’m assuming 31k kcal, which confusingly everyone calls a calorie. There’s no way it’s only 31kcal.
