Biden Burns 3,866 Pounds Of Jet Fuel Flying 72 Miles To Deliver Speech

President Joe Biden on Friday burned 3,866 lbs of jet fuel to fly 72 miles aboard Air Force One to deliver a speech in Hagerstown, Maryland.

Biden’s 40-minute flight to Hagerstown burned about 3,886 lbs of jet fuel as he traveled in a Boeing 757 aircraft, which burns roughly 5,800 lbs of fuel per hour if the aircraft is traveling at the average speed of 598 miles per hour at 35,000 ft, according to Aviation Insider. Biden’s trip to Maryland produced over 12,000 lbs of carbon dioxide (CO2), according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis.

Biden produced CO2 emissions equivalent to driving 13,678 miles in an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s emissions calculator. A 72-mile journey in the average passenger road vehicle would emit only 58 lbs of carbon emissions as the average car has a fuel efficiency of 24.2 miles per gallon, according to a DCNF analysis.

  1. Buddy of mine knows a guy who works at the plant Biden went to…they wanted 200 employees to stay for the camera shots and offered extra pay to do so…they had 70 volunteer to stay. Lol.

  2. He is not at all concerned about how much fuel it takes to go anywhere he wants to go. Afterall, it’s not his money, but OURS!!
