I'm curious, CJ. Can you provide an example of a light single that
easily exceeds 30 mpg? Most of the more common ones (172, PA28,
etc..) tend to average around 15 to 18 mpg, depending on the power
setting.


The Van's Aircraft RVs get right around 25 mpg

I'm looking for a list of fuel consumption ratings for:

- private jets

- commercial jets.

...AND, if such a list exists, a per-passenger fuel consumption by
type of aircraft.


This spreadsheet-

isn't a perfect match but it may be of interest to the OP and others.
