Celebs Who Claim They're Green but Guzzle Gas

[Rubycon]

It proves that planes suck.

Small planes get better gas mileage than you would think. I don't know about jets, but a twin engine 4 seater gets about something like like 15mpg. If two people are in it, that's 30mpg per person. I'd assume that a small jet with a comparable number of people delivers similar mpg per person.

Edit: http://www.greencarcongress.com/2006/06/hondajet_to_att.html

The hondajet gets 39.36 seat miles per gallon (6 seats). An sj30 returns 22.5 seat miles per gallon (7 seats). A learjet 31a returns 24.9 seat miles per gallon (8 seats). That is a pretty phenomenal improvement in efficiency.

Yeah, seat mpg makes them seem better than they are, but do celebrities usually fly around alone in their jets? In any case, that jet or piston plane isn't going 20,000 miles a year like your 9mpg Hummer H2.

a 747 gets nearly 100 seat-miles per gallon.

Who cares? We all know celebs aren't who they want us to believe. Its something called "acting"

I wonder if TMZ takes into account that when these people are flying, it's probably work-related.

Even so they dont HAVE to fly private jets that have a whole 3 or 4 people in them.

No one needs to fly a private jet.

If you read the entire article, Leo flies commercial, why can't the rest of the so-called Hollywood green? It is very hypocritical of them to be preaching when they themselves needlessly fly private jets.

Uh, your right, its not going merely 20,000 its going much more than that. Celeberties rack up much more than 20k a year in flying. Some do that in a month. Four round trips from LA to NY is ~20k miles.

I don't disagree that it's somewhat hypocritcal, however there are legitimate reasons for it I think.

There's also legitimate reasons for people to own SUVs and pick-up trucks.

There is no legitimate reason to own some SUVs like the Hummer H2... small interior, mediocre off road ability, and it's enormous-- 8000lbs right? I'd say most people who drive full size trucks in Texas do not need them and don't use them for what they were built. I technically don't need my Jeep-- I'd get by with a BIG wagon and a roof rack, but I use it to its full capabilities regularly.

Not even close moran.


But the point of this idea is not whether or not celebs "need" to fly on private jets or if they have alternatives, but that if they're going to do so, do not preach about being environmental and caring about the environment.

It'd be like a married actor who sleeps with 3 lingerie models every night preaching about astinence, monogamy, or the importance of a loving relationship. It doesn't bother me what they do, but don't try to preach morals when you're doing so.

how has no one mentioned that Leo DiCaprio is wearing a shirt that says LEO on it

haha

 

[b0mbrman]

Here's another one that'll blow your mind. George Clooney and Brad Pitt didn't really rob a Las Vegas casino. They were just faking.

They're big phoneys!

Agreed.

Thread is lame, site linked to is lame, topic is lame, OP is one big lame-O.
