I also haven't seen numbers, but I imagine the energy usage even to reach sub-orbital altitude would be pretty huge compared to a jet plane takeoff -> cruising altitude. Sub-orbital means you also have to bring your own oxygen too (rocket vs jet engine), which can approximately double your fuel mass...
