What is the comparison between a car and a 2-seater light aircraft?
The archetypal 2-seater would be the Cessna 150, which will apparently go 480 statute miles on the usable 18.7 imperial gallon fuel capacity. That's 25mpg, which is poor for a person who's trying to be green but better than a lot of sociopaths will be achieving in their completely unnecessary 300HP+ SUVs
