You could probably offset it by growing a couple of rows of carrots. A post in sci.aeronautics.airliners from a guy with a boeing.com email address disagrees: http://yarchive.net/air/airliners/mpg.html "It will vary pretty widely depending on the airplane, the engines, the condition of the engines, the range the airplane is intending to fly, and the weather (hotter is always worse). All that to say a precise answer is very difficult and will wobble a great deal. Another way you could do the sums is start with the oft-quoted "fact" that tankering fuel costs 3% per hour. -- Tim Ward - posting as an individual unless otherwise clear Brett Ward Limited - www.brettward.co.uk Cambridge Accommodation Notice Board - www.brettward.co.uk/canb Cambridge City Councillor |
