Lazy question

[3WE]

Please tell me the total fuel burn and number of passengers on a “good example pleasure flight” Evanie might take (assuming he’s on your A-32+/-)

I think he might be shocked at the number of gallons we burn as individual buttock pairs going places.

I am happy to accept the units as lb, gal, L, or even Kg which triggers Bobby.

I’ll take it from there.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I hope you feel guilty for operating a CO2-manufacturing machine, and turning final with a half handful of power levers, while we play MSFS, assuming the windmill grid has enough wind.

Would we burn half bottle as many liters of fuel if we had only one buttock?

Dihydrogen monoxide is the visible part of the chemtrails. Carbon dioxide is the invisible part.

Using some numbers I found on the intarwebz and some I just made up...

An A320-200 in cruise burns 3125 liters/hour. Converted to American, that's 3375 quarts or 843.75 gallons/hour.

Now assume in that hour, the plane travels 500 miles. 500 miles on 843.75 gallons = 0.593 MPG. Which doesn't sound very good but... suppose the aeroplanie in question has 143 seats which the web claims is typical (and every seat has a butt in it). Multiply that last number by 143 and you get 84.75 passenger-miles per gallon.

An Ottomobile getting 30 MPG (assume highway driving) with 2 pax in it would be getting 60 passenger-miles per gallon, which obviously doesn't compare well with the airplane.

Conversely, a Tesla model 3 gets 142 MPGe (a made-up number, of course) so with 2 pax in it, you'd effectively get almost 300 passenger-miles per gallon.

The takeaway? Clearly, Tesla needs to start making airplanes.

No.

…so roughly 40 gallons of ‘gas’ gets Eric from Boston to visit Sick Bag and Brianie.

Not too shabby.

Yes.
