Inefficient Vehicle only One Traveler
If you drive an inefficient vehicle and/or drive alone, then flying can have a lower impact than driving. This can be true even when we saddle the flight with the disadvantage of a regional jet.
Compare a flight between San Francisco and Dallas-Fort Worth to a Toyota Sequoia, that gets 16 mpg, driven between the same points. Flying is better.
Try tweaking and customizing the scenario below further by changing ...
- to a more efficient aircraft
- to a more efficient car
- flight distances
Note: The impact of the itineraries in this scenario are substantially higher than than the scenario: Driving Better than Flying.
