Annual fuel cost per household

[Diamondpilot]

Chris, I recall quite a few posts back you were telling us about your annual fuel bill with your truck , the Beemer, your boat, etc. Seems a little strange you made no mention of this additional 101,000 gallons in that post....:laughing:

Not my money... I fly a corporate jet for a company. It burns 1800# of fuel the first hour, or 270 gallons per hour and 1400# of fuel per hour every hour after, or about 210 gallons per hour. Our average flight this year was 1:14 minutes as of right now. May change slightly if we have a flight between now and New Years Eve, nothing scheduled though.

We outsourced out expense reports a year ago or so. I had to argue with them the first 2 months because I turn in a report every Wednesday and its nothing for me to have nearly $30,000 in expense between fuel, catering, rental cars, hotels, meals, ect per week. It drew all kinds of red flags on their system. This is only half of it, my co-pilot pays for every other fueling and all his expenses.

Looks like our gasoline costs for 2011 to date are:

2001 Ford Ranger = $1414.50 (7,838 miles)
2002 Ford Crown Victoria = $1123.88 (6,628 miles)
Lawnmower, string trimmer, & tiller = $95.72 (35.4 hours on mower; no time records on the string trimmer & tiller)

Total = $2634.10

And to think I used to put 30k or more miles a year on my own car, plus the work vehicles.:laughing:

I was thinking the same thing. My airplane burns 252 gallons per hour and I have put just over 400 hours on it this year. That is about 101,000 gallons for the year at just over $5.65 average per gallon. My fuel bills total right around $600,000 for the year. Glad its all on my company credit card.

An Airbus A380 will take almost that much A1 in one fill up. A full tank on one those is 85K gallons. I think that works out to 3K gallons per hour.

Crazy.:confused2:

People complain about airline tickets but I do not see how they do it? When you figure in all the cost from pilots, training, baggage handlers, mechanics, flight attendants, the plane, insurance, ect its mind blowing.

Like I said, we use about 252 gallons per average if you figure it over a years time and our fuel cost are a little less than 1/3 the total operating cost for a 10 seat jet so you do the math. This is base on 400 hours per year so things like Insurance, Salaries, Hanger, Training, Inspectons, ect are a fixed cost divided into them 400 hours. Fly less, the cost go up and if we fly more the cost go down.
