Taylor Swift owns a Dassault Falcon 900. It uses 267 gallons per hour, flies at 552 mph, and seats 12 passengers.
A Boeing 373-800 burns 850 US gallons per hour, flies at 494–544 mph, and seats 168 passengers.
(Gallons per hour/miles per hour) = gallons per mile
(gallons per mile/passenger count) = gallons per passenger per mile)
Dassault 900: 267/552 = .48 Miles per gallon
.48/12 = .040 gallons per passenger per mile
Boeing 373: 850/494 = 1.72 gallon per mile
1.72/168 = .010 gallons per passenger per mile
A Boeing 737 is four times more fuel efficient per passenger than Taylor Swift’s plane.
All these memes are being spurred on because her private jet made a 13 minute flight that would have been a 30 minute car ride.
Thanks!
