The Boeing 747 burns about 1 gallon of fuel every second or 5 gallons per mile. Reversing this, gives us the figure of 0.2 miles per gallon of fuel. This is much lower than the average car's fuel efficiency at about 25 miles per gallon. But, considering the number of passengers the 747 carries, it is far more efficient. This breakdown explains that, because the plane can carry about 500 people, it's actually getting 100 miles per gallon per person.
