How much does it cost in gas to run an excavator for 10hrs a day?

Answer:

depends on the size, eg: 20tonne komatsu at what we call full load conditions, big bucket loading sand non stop will use about 12-15 litres/hr on a hot day with A/C on, oh then operator's wages, payment, tube of grease, blah, blah, blah
oh you are going to be running around 5-18 galons an hour times around $3.00 a galon off road diesel not gas times 10hrs.= a good $300+ greese, a person to opperate it., hydrilic and motor oil., ect..
