I see many Taylor swift posts with plane. Plane out of plane and more plane out of plane. Walking dog in plane, why so much plane?

    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.

    Bringing up cars is beside the point. Riding a bike would be even better! But we were talking about jet types.

    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.
