All Taylor swift plane posts? - eviltoast

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?

        Do you really think a private jet uses the same amount of fuel to move a passenger from point A to point B as a passenger jet? Or even a car for that 28 mile trip?

          I don’t know. Are you going to tell me the answer? I apologize for my ignorance.

          A private jet is smaller and lighter. As long as it’s packed full of people, is it really less efficient? I don’t think the economics of jet size is necessarily intuitive, so, again, forgive my ignorance.

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

            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.
