The average US driver does 11,000 miles a year. At 25 MPG that's 440
gallons of gasoline a year.
Air Force One is a 747. Cruising at 576 mph it burns 3378 gallons an hour of jet fuel. Enough for 7.6 years of commuting by Joe Schmuck.
Why stop there? Lets get the President a nice four place Cessna! No more private jets for Congressional flights, let them eat cake on Amtrak!
