Your analysis is way off and it shouldn’t have even passed the sniff test when you thought it was more gallons consumed than to get you a gallon.
Remember, the helicopter that flies your friend out there just buys jet fuel at a regular airport. With an entire supply line that has to buy the fuel off of the open market, it’s not possible for it to require a gallon of gas to produce a gallon of gas, let alone 10 or 100.
It’s no different than guessing that the process to make 1 potato takes 100 potatoes.
It has to be more extracted than consumed to even have the possibility of a business.
