[11]Honda Civic Hybrid- regularly averages around 45 mpg-US (5.2 L/100 km; 54 mpg
-imp).
Toyota Prius - According to the US EPA's revised estimates, the combined fuel consumption for the 2008 Prius is 46 mpg-US (5.1 L/100 km; 55 mpg
-imp),
[12] making it the most fuel efficient US car of 2008 according to the EPA.
[13] In the UK, the official fuel consumption figure (combined) for the Prius is 4.3 L/100 km (66 mpg
-imp; 55 mpg
-US).
[14]- Airbus state that their A380 consumes fuel at the rate of less than 3 L/100 km per passenger.[21] CNN reports that the fuel consumption figures provided by Airbus for the A380, given as 2.9 L/100 km per passenger, are "slightly misleading", because they assume a passenger count of 555, but do not allow for any luggage or cargo.[22] Typical occupancy figures are unknown at this time.
- The Sikorsky S-76C++ twin turbine helicopter gets about 1.65 mpg-US
(143 L/100 km; 1.98 mpg-imp
) at 140 knots (260 km/h; 160 mph) and carries 12 for about 19.8 passenger-miles per gallon (11.9 litres per 100 passenger-kilometres).
[citation needed]- The Bell 407 single-engine turbine helicopter burns 51 gallons per hour at 120 knots carrying one pilot and six passengers. 2.35 NM per gal for 14.1 passenger-miles per gallon. If the pilot is counted as a passenger, it's 16.4 people-miles per gallon. Increased altitudes can yield better fuel rates. It has operated at 47 gal/hr.[citation needed]
- Concorde the supersonic transport managed about 17 miles to the gallon per passenger; similar to a business jet, but much worse than a subsonic turbofan aircraft.
