Range Rover Blues:

--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---Well Concorde burns a tonne of fuel per seat, about 3 times the amount a 747 burns on a similar flight, so about 360kg of fuel per seat per flight and most of that goes dring take off, Concorde burns over a tonne getting down the runway, don't know about the 747.

So a family of 4 going on their holidays, that's 8 seats worth (2 flights) or about 2,900kg of fuel for a week in the sun.

That's near £3,000 for us motorists.

You've forgotten to add in the difference in seats 747 has more seat than a concorde therefore cost is a lot cheaper than you state

The only reason you don't notice is the lack of TAX on avaition fuel.

Thats why you pay Air Passenger Duty which can be over £2000 per flight

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
I wonder if they'll slap a congestion/parking tax on Concorde now? Let's face it, it's the same theory as this new thing they want to bring in.
