> No amount of cherry picking is gonna get you to the 10,000x number

I cherry-pick "5 miles in a F-150" vs "5000 miles in a Citation."

Cherry-pick complete.

And I nit pick your cherry pick on the grounds that 1000x miles * 5.2x efficiency ratio only gets you to 5200x, far short of 10K
An F-150 has better gas mileage than a F-250.
Planes emit their crap at a higher altitude which somehow makes a greater impact or so I hear.
