For people with more ambitious environmental aspirations

Here’s a fascinating fact…
A Boeing 747 uses around 36,000 gallons of fuel over the course of a 10 hour flight. “Outrageous” we hear you shout, but let us take a look at the miles per gallon.
Consider that a 747 can carry as many as 568 people, but let us assume that only 500 of the seats on the plane are occupied.
A 747 uses 5 gallons of fuel per mile, so if we divide the number of people by the gallons per mile that gives us 0.01 gallons per person, per mile. In other words the miles per gallon, per person, is 100 miles.
If you compare than to a single person driving a car, the average miles per gallon (combined urban and extra urban) is around 38 miles, almost a third that of the Boeing 747.
When viewed like this is does not seem quite so bad, especially as the plane travels at 550mph!
The data we use to work out energy and water costs come from a range of reliable international sources to give an average figure. Figures are rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.
* Total amounts potentially saved do not include lighting in individual rooms, or use of secondary heating.
