Three round trip flights from say New York to London vs. not driving for nine months (say 8,720 miles) . . .nope they don't offset each other. No... three flights, as is THREE FLIGHTS... not round trips. I don't really know, but I don't think that driving 2000 miles (I have been in the states since May 15 and put less than 2000 miles on my car) and taking three international flights is worse than driving 13,000 miles (average for an American). Sorry, still no. Yup, what Sug said. Nine month of driving: 8,750 miles (assuming a yearly average of 11,000 miles) Three trips to London from New York: 10,380 miles Driving 8,750 miles = 365 gal. of gas (assuming a 24 mpg average) Flying three times from New York to London = 66,000 gal. of gas (assuming using a Boeing 777) Divide by number of passengers.... let's say 400 = 165 gals of jet fuel.

We could go on like this for days!!!!
