  1. Its not just about mpg. It's also about operating cost. Lets say a 777 is burning 5 gallons/20 liters per mile. Let's say you have a 777 carrying 240 people. It would take 40 of these to have the same capacity. Just what is the fuel usage per passenger mile. Ask your self this. If a 6 passenger minivan is getting 25mpg on the highway with a full load of passengers and a Honda Fit with 2 or 1 person on board is getting 50 mpg which vehicle is getting more passenger miles per gallon. This may have a future in the business aircraft market. But I have heard that before. Anyone remember the Beech Starship. Much less the LearFan? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LearAvia_Lear_Fan&ved=2ahUKEwir58_Hv8LtAhUiAp0JHTmDD-oQmhMwDXoECAoQAg&usg=AOvVaw0dAMjsNg802qU_-FQYVRyA
