The Hawker 700 jet that my company owns uses ~210 gph of Jet-A (basically kerosene/diesel fuel) at cruise. At ~$4/gal thats $840/hour for fuel! Of course it travels at 500 mph, but it's only 2.4 mpg.
My private plane, an old Beech Debonair, burns 13 gph of avgas. At about $4/gal thats $52/hour at 170 mph, or 13 mpg.
Towing my Airstream Safari 25' trailer with an F150 gets about 12 mpg.
