In general, I would think that one plane carrying x passengers is more efficient (fuel usage wise) than 3 planes carrying x/3 passengers...Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

cvfd1399 0 #8 April 27, 2005 The news said for a average 100 mile trip it uses less than 1 gallon per passenger making it more efficent than the family car. You can look at what they reported in a few ways, but that is what I heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
