how commercial jets vs. private jets vs. light aircraft fare

Just looked some up, they’re approximately, per passenger:

• -, bus, ~100…300mpg/pp
• Commercial jet, -, ~60…120mpg/pp
• Ultralight, motorbike, train, ~50mpg/pp
• Light aircraft, car, ~15…60mpg/pp
• Private jet, limo, ~5…50mpg/pp
• Fighter jet, monster truck, ~0.5mpg/pp

The more passengers, the more efficient.

So, fully loaded, there isn’t that much difference between a private jet, a limo, a car, light aircraft, ultralight, motorbike, train, or low range commercial jet.

But if it’s a single person, a private jet would use 10 times more fuel than a motorbike.

A fully loaded bus, still wins hands down.

Props tend to be more efficient aircraft when it comes to fuel consumption but fly relatively low and slow. Jets are faster so they make more sense for ferrying people and cargo but they burn more fuel in the process.

It’s probably plane with propeller, not jet engine
