Well yeah, the government needs that “emissions tax” and the airlines can now compete over “efficiency.” But honestly, they don’t need any fuel at all because they have wind. Cars need fuel because of friction with the ground, airplanes don’t.
That propeller is only needed for takeoff and landing to make sure the plane gets consistent speed. Wind can be a bit gusty, and passengers don’t like being tossed around.
