PART E - GALLONS PER PERSON PER DAY
The least desirable or accurate method is the gallons per person per day method and it is primarily used for
early planning stages and for funding. You must use FM 101-10-1/1 and FM 10-13, Table 3-2 (types of fuel,
geographic consumption rates). Refer to Table 4-5.
