Am I the only one wondering how you calculated the 6mpg for the Helicopter?
We're talking strait line from place to place rather than being subjected to
roads, plus whats the going rate of jet fuel (or whatever they run on)?

I just can't believe that someone on the list knows someone that utilizes a
helicopter as a main means of transportation.

I get a solid 16mpg, no matter what i do. Maybe i'm hovering too much at red
lights.
