I got a few things wrong! The 737-500 figure should be .25 lbs/km, or .41 lbs/mile. And yes, my mileage comparisons are wrong - 13,000 solo miles in the F-150 is comparable, per-person, to 30,000 miles in a 737-500! These figures are just based on rough estimates pulled from the web, so they're not precise, but this is consistent with another post that said solo F-150 travel isn't worse (per passenger mile) than a loaded private jet.
