It's a shame they didn't express it quite the way you did. 40-50 feet is not quite the same as 1/100 of a mile to the wider imageination.

Or,
Using the passenger-miles that the airlines love to quote and her stated persons aboard number (2794) and 100gal/mi do we get 279 pass.mi/gal? (Not so bad)
But then my math guesses are often way off.

The fifty feet per gallon doesn't sound bad to me considering there are nine diesel engines!

Remind me not to let you near my income tax form. LOL

Did I figure it right? ~23 pmpg? sheesh.

Of course, that's as good as my Ranger, and unlike my Ranger it includes heat/ac, water use, food cooking in half a dozen restaurants, laundry, floor show, slot machines, elevators and of course running lights. Possibly not so bad. Wouldn't we be alarmed if we knew the fuel cost of our non-commuting lives?!?

Well...I guess that I got 30,000 miles on 3 gallons of gas/oil mix and 60 gallons of diesel fuel.......that sounds a lot better.......:D

Sure, 50 feet per gallon doesn't sound so bad but that's cruising on the open sea. I bet in stop and go traffic its no better than a Hummer.
