If you drive 50mpg sure, likewise the jet's published hourly operating cost is all about going on cruise speed and not as fast as you can, no headwinds, perfect conditions, cheap insurance, etc. Real world cost is closer to $2000/hr

Yeah, sorry...I meant to say you're NOT way off :) (edited). $2k / hr is probably about right if they're claiming $1134.
