Elitist Hillary Clinton Uses Private Jet to go 20 Miles » Right Pundits

And, she pulled that same "no foreign money" pledge before she became Secretary of State.

Clintons made same ‘no foreign cash pledge’ when Hillary was chosen as Secretary of State - Liberty Unyielding

Hillary Clinton is a corrupt pathological liar. She can't tell the truth, she's incapable of it. If her mouth is open and there's something coming out of it, you can be sure it's a lie.

Sixteen documented lies about the e-mail, along with all those non-existent bullets in Kosovo....

And now environmentally conscious liberal paragon Hillary Clinton chews up thousands of gallons of jet fuel just to go 20 miles.

Not even Obama does that. Last time he had to go from LA to Glendale, he drove. Tied up the whole freeway system. There's no winning with these Democrats.

Uh, no. I don't think there is a plane in existence that burns thousands of gallons of fuel to go 20 miles. I don't know what kind of plane it was but I doubt it used more than 40 gallons. Probably closer to 20.

And? So what?

If she is out there complaining about the carbon footprint of aircraft usage, you might have had a point, as it is, you have none.

It's hundreds of gallons, but probably not a thousand. Jet engines use the most fuel while in the ground, when taking off, or when flying at low altitude, which a 20 mile trip would be all three. Jet engines are designed for high altitude where oxygen is thin and the fuel flow can be reduced to match the reduced oxygen concentration while attaining the same amount of thrust. The higher you fly, the less fuel you use.

Here's a picture of Hillary's plane the campaign has rented for her use:

Any jet is going to burn more then 20 gallons.
If it was a Gulf Stream type of private jet those planes burn 500 gallons per hour at cruising speed and altitude. If you add idle time at runways and that a plane at low altitude and never reaching cruise speed burns more fuel, it is conceivable such a trip could break 100
