Five hundred three.
What's significant about that number you ask?
That's the average fuel burn rate of a Gulfstream G650, in gallons per hour.
It is about 3,300 nautical miles from Bel Aire, California to Paris, France.
That's around 8 hours in the air, or just over 4,000 gallons of Jet-A.
Assuming that I fill up The Precious once a week with a full 18 gallons of premium... It would take me 4 years 3 months to consume as much fuel as this plane... one way. 8 and a half years for the round trip.
My gas guzzler Corvette also doesn't spit out its emissions at 51,000' MSL, meaning my pollution does less damage.
Mr Musk, I will start taking this crisis seriously when you do.
