CAT D333-powered genset deep underground at the preserved-as-a-museum nuclear missile launch control site at Cooperstown, ND.

My son recently toured the facility and snapped the photo.

The tour guide claimed it would power the facility for 8 weeks on 16,000 gallons of diesel with 190hp.

I didn't do any ''math'' on that, LOL!

I might be a bit off, but according to my math, 16000 gal for 8 weeks breaks down to about 12 gal per hour. 6 cyl turbo diesel under load that isn't out of line.
In truck use at 60 mph that would average out to about 5 miles per gal, not bad for something of that time period.
