This wastes more fuel per capita than most.

  Planes are quite fuel efficient per passenger. Somewhere around 90mpg. Furthermore, I imagine this particular flight will free of baggage, lightening the load and improving efficiency even more. At any rate, most entertainment and recreational activities are bad for the environment, but as far as most of them go, this one is relatively clean.

    But still, in 7 hours, a 500mph plane can go 3500 miles, so that's 38 gallons of fuel per passenger. A month's worth of gas for many people.

      Nowadays, that amount lasts me two or three months!

        Back when the COVID isolation started in March, I put fuel stabilizer in our second car and filled up the tank (and hooked up a battery tender). I've driven it a few times, but the gas gauge still says "full" on that same tank of fuel. Even with the stabilizer I'm thinking that I need to take it out for a long drive to use up the fuel. At the rate things are going, I'm not sure I'll need the car for commuting until next summer.
