You are looking at way less than 50 million a day... I think london heathrow uses around 800k gallons in a day for example (3 million liters)... they have a whole pipeline system that delivers it. The Thames - Mersey Pipeline System supplies the West London system which is dedicated to the onward transportation of aviation fuel to London's main airports. It comprises a large storage terminal and pump station at Buncefield, supplying Heathrow airport and a further section linking Longford to the Walton Gatwick system.
I dunno why you keep massively over-estimating the amount of consumption... you keep calculating as if every plane holds 60k gallons and then uses it all on every trip.... and I dunno where you even get that figure... even a 747 doesn't hold that much.
if one 777 takes 50k+ gallons to fill up, your saying was of the busiest airport in London only fills up 16 planes. Sure 800k gallons is more reasonable, but that would be supporting my claim - because planes use very little gas I said my math is based one 2500 plane departures from Ohare per day , = 150 million gallons a day, lets say its 1/3rd that or even 1/15th , that must mean planes use far less fuel than they claim. Your own data is in fact supporting my claim , while trying to deny it at the same time, incredible.
I explained why 800k is more realistic... you now say 50k+ gallons for a 777, but thats still wrong even if it started out empty (they don't and a 777 does not hold that much).... then you say 2500 departures a day from o'hare? No... nowhere near that much.... that would be 104 per hour even if they went 24/7 which they don't.... and there are only 8 runways at o'hare, and they don't use them all at once depending on wind, etc.
And where the hell do you get off thinking that every plane is comparable in size to a 777 or a 747 or whatever? a lot of corporate jets only hold like 2k maybe 3k gallons and lots are smaller that that ... especially little cessna and stuff... maybe only 40 or 50 gallons.
i dont ignore, my reply was specifically why your anger is unwarranted and ridiculous. i have multiple sources that say a 777 tank capacity is up to 50k gallons of gas depending on model. I also have multiple sources saying 2500 commercial departures a day, i doubt many Cessna are using Ohare, do you have a source that claims that - id like to see it . Sure maybe a few private jets use that, but i dont think they count in that #. Also this number is pre Covid - departures might be down alot now.
777 carries 31k gallons max... if you also put tanks in the cargo hold you can get more but likely not common... and like i've said repeatedly but still not accounted for, you do not use 31k (or whatever the capacity of a particular plane is) per flight... they don't land empty... you only fill a fraction of the tank at a time.
Yes plenty of small planes land at large airports and they all factor into the total. Just watch the traffic.... lots of regional jets, corp jets.... and smaller general aviation... helicopters too.
If it were 2500... that would mean about 138 per hour in the 18 hours or so per day that they actually have departures... 2.31 per minute or one every 25ish seconds for 18 hours straight. Sorry but thats not plausible.... just stand outside an airport and watch... they don't go that often.

Lol, no you just ignored everything I said.
