Pelosi the Planet Saver!

Nancy Pelosi uses more fuel, in two trips, traveling back and forth to work than most people will in their entire lives.

If you have a car that gets at least 20 mpg and you live within 20 miles of work (or simply drive less than 40 miles per day), then you will use one gallon of gasoline to get to work, and another gallon to get back home.
Basically, that’s 2 gallons per day.

Now, this doesn’t include all the other running around you do, just back and forth to work.
However, that is all we are considering with Madame Pelosi too.

So you use, at most, 2 gallons of fuel per day.
10 gallons per week.
500 gallons per year (we’ll give you 2 weeks off for vacation).
If you start working when you turn 18 and retire at 68, that is 50 years of work.
50 years of work at 500 gallons per year, comes to 25,000 gallons in your entire life.

Nancy Pelosi flies a Boeing 757 to work.
A Boeing 757 has a range of 5500 miles.
Nancy Pelosi lives in San Francisco and works in Washington D.C.
It is at least 2500 miles, one way, from SF to DC.
Or, at least 5000 miles round trip.
Accounting for storms, landing approaches, etc, we can conclude that it takes a tank of fuel for one roundtrip from San Francisco to Washington D.C.
A tank of fuel on a Boeing 757 is 92,000 pounds.
At sea level and at room temperature, 92,000 pounds of jet fuel is 13,731 gallons.
So, Nancy Pelosi uses about 13,731 gallons of fuel in each trip from home to work and back home again.
Or, at least, 27,000 gallons for 2 trips.

Nancy Pelosi uses more fuel (27,000 gallons), in two trips, traveling back and forth to work than most people will (25,000 gallons) in their entire lives.

And, Nancy Pelosi is trying to “save the planet”!!!
