When I use Minecarts, I hate having to use Powered Rails to move them. I would like to use a Minecart with Furnace to push my Minecarts, but I don't know how much fuel I'll need.

How far can a Minecart with Furnace go using one piece of coal?

According to the Wiki:

1 coal or charcoal will cause the Minecart to run for 3 minutes or travel 612m.

Could you convert 612m to blocks? I'm not familiar with meters. – RavenM Feb 9 at 23:49

@RavenM 1 block = 1 metre. – SevenSidedDie Feb 10 at 1:19

How about up/down slopes? – Alvin Wong Feb 10 at 3:51
