Extract numbers from the "Description" field?

I've been using GNUcash to track all my personal finances for about a
year.  Whenever I purchase fuel for my car,  I make a debit to
"Expenses:Transp.:Gas" with a note like this in the "Description" field:

  Gas - 8.472 gal. - 181.6 mi.

I'd like to export that into a spreadsheet so I can run reports and draw
graphs of things like fuel efficiency and fuel cost per mile.  Any
suggestions on where to start?
