What kind of mileage do ferries get? Actually, pretty lousy. They average 11.6 passenger miles per gallon of diesel fuel. 256 million passenger miles for 22 million gallons of diesel. Source: http://www.bts.gov/btsprod/nts/apxa/transt98.html

They are pretty heavy polluters too, actually. In several studies in San Francisco, they caused more air pollution than DRIVING around to the other side of the bay in individual HOVs would have.
