Thank goodness it does, though only about 9% or so.  Believe me, if I end up with less business travel as a result of oil prices, I couldn't be happier, but it's just an expense of the companies so far.

Let me try again:

I am glad that airplanes consume oil, although only roughly nine percent of what comes out of any given barrel with current refining practices.  If oil prices continue to increase, I may not need to travel as much for my employment due to price constraints, but they do not affect me currently.  That would make me happy because I could stay home and live my life.

There are certain subversive anti-American websites where you can calculate your "energy footprint" and flying increases it immensely.
