And, to carry it to extremes, think of the railroad radio commercial that points out that they can haul a ton of freight for over 400 miles on ONE gallon of fuel!
It's all in cost per unit delivered, isn't it? An SUV makes sense in terms of cost per passenger per mile if the vehicle is full of people. And, so does an airplane. If the CEOs of the Big 3 had flown coach in a overbooked plane, they could have said they got to Washington by the cheapest route. They actually spent more than that, in terms of fuel used per passenger, by driving their little "economy" vehicles on the second visit.
Like you Sburn, I love this kind of analysis.
