Fuel capacity for Tiger E 181 is as follows. Full  tanks contain 534 Litres of gasoline, which is close to 117.5 Imperial Gallons. This we already know. The figures supplied are based on ideal weather conditions and fuel conscious driver.
Calculations based on Imperial Gallon and working on full 534 litres with road range of 100 Km on road and cross country 60 Km. in perfect weather  and terrain conditions. According to official German source, road running is 4.5 litres per Km. - 1.58  gallons per mile. Cross country 7.8 litres - 2.76 gallons per mile.

In my calculations 1 Imperial gallon is 4.55 litres. Therefore 7.8 litres are 1.71 gallons and not 2.76 gallons per mile.
Fuel consumed on the road is 0.19 Km per litre  (0.53 Miles peg Imperial Gallon)
Fuel consumed cross country is 0.12 Km per litre.  (.35 Miles per Imperial Gallon)

                                                                              Ammunition 

Tiger I, carried a total of 92** rounds of main gun ammunition which was split into four types as follows ;
66%  ( 61 rounds) of  APCBC rounds  and  25% (23 rounds) of  H.E.  Finally 9% ( 8 rounds) of A.P 40.
22  pouches with 150 rounds each for MG 34.
12  Rounds of Flares 
12  Short fuse smoke grenades with C 43 screw type detonator & Propellant Charge 1 for close range defensive weapon.
 20 High explosive rounds 326 Lp ( Flare gun).

  Shaped charge HE  armour piercing HEAT -Panzergranatpatrone Pzgr.39 HI    7.76 Kg

HE-FRAG grenade Sprenggranatpatrone Sprgr l/4.5 Kz      10.2 Kg

Drawing from Turret Manual

1)  Single pin contact.   2) Cable leading to fire box in turret.  3) Brass electric primer.  4) Pin contact spring retainer. 5) Discharger base bracket.   6)   Granulated black powder charge, screws into smoke generator.  7) Ignition tube N4. 8)  Smoke generator launch tube. 9) Smoke Generator. 


6 screws into Smoke generator prior to loading launch tubes. Brass electric primer 3 screws into discharger base bracket 5.
Once smoke generators were discharged, it was impossible to reload them in action. Loading was a tedious and considerably lengthy process. 1) cover had to be opened. 4) spring loaded retainer had to be turned sideways. 3) electric primer had to be screwed into each launcher. 6) Powder charge had to be screwed into each Smoke generator. Finally all tubes had to be re- loaded. Later model Tiger, had a launcher fitted into the turret roof, and projectile could be fired from within, without risk of being shot at.

Bergepanzer      
(Recovery tank)
Small number of Tigers H1 (E) were converted to recovery Vehicles. There were two variants. Most common  had main gun removed. A crane capable of lifting 10 tons , was mounted on top of the turret, and was powered by main engine. Tiger recovery by other Tigers was not considered a good idea, unless conditions allowed such operation. For the sake of saving a disabled Tiger several Tigers were endangered and could have been knocked out. 

In 1945, last time to be butchered Tiger E, was supposed to be Flame Thrower Tiger. In place of  bow Mg.34, a flame thrower nozzle was installed. All this was a last ditch stand in a desperate quest for "Miracle Weapon".

"Mystery" of Japanese Tiger "E"
In November 1943,  "Showa Tsusho  Kaisha Ltd", Tokyo, purchased from Henschel & Sohn, a Tiger E, for 645,000 Reich mark (Invoice No.19947) .  This price was over and above the normal cost of Tiger E.
The Japanese were quite happy to pay that sum.  From what I understand, the Tiger was to be stripped into a kit form, and shipped out in a large submarine/supply underwater ship. Nothing had been heard of that Tiger since. 

Here is a sample from D 656/24 Maintenance Log Book. It is interesting to see that at no time had radio equipment been checked or tested. Reference to similar Maintenance Log Books are in The book  "British Tiger Reports".

Those concerned that nobody takes care of their country's military cemeteries, should approach  their government,
and not complain on websites that injustice had been done to them.
