A Boeing 737-300 consumes 68 plus 10gph at 500mph cruise speed and with 140 seats. buttuming that about 70% of seats are booked (the real percentage is higher for most airlines) you get 71 pbuttenger miles per gallon. What's comparable to a Camry Over the years, the Corolla has gotten bigger a couple of times in the wake of the expanding Camry. (There are a few of each, 1986 through the early aughties, in the... In the typical SUV (~1.2 pbuttengers, 15mpg) you get less than 20 pbuttenger miles per gallon. And even your diesel doesn't even come close to the efficiency of a plain-jane 737 - not to mention the fact that you are crawling along at 60mph whereas the jet cruises at 500mph.
