Interesting tidbit from Bob Bliar:
The A380 consumes only 3 litres of fuel per pax per 100km, equivalent to a fuel efficient diesel car. |

How many passengers would such a car carry? Not a relevant statistic either. Factor in the average load factor of a fuel efficient diesal car and an A380 and then you might have a more meaningful figure. --==++AJC++==-- |

How many passengers would such a car carry? Not a relevant statistic either. Given the OP's comparative statement above, the implied "statistic" was apparently relevant to her. Factor in the average load factor of a fuel efficient diesal car and an A380 and then you might have a more meaningful figure. Meaningful in what way? Am I to infer, that you find the metric of fuel-per-passenger-mile irrelevant? |

Larry,
How many passengers would such a car carry? four, including the driver. Available from Volkswagen in Germany as we speak. See http://showrooms.volkswagen.de/vwcms..._public/showro oms/de/lupo/lupo_3l_tdi/home.frameset_outer.html But indeed, the comparison is of limited value, as anyone would find out who'd try to drive his VW from the US to Europe. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
