So, it kind of depends on fight paths and highways, and traffic in general. But if you’re talking about a ten minute flight, at (the low side) of 30 gallons per hour on a turbine helicopter, compared to the high-side of 5 gallons per hour in an suv (10mpg@50 mph), you’d have to be stuck in traffic for more than an hour to justify on fuel.
if he really was concerned about the enviroment and not just being snarky… public transit is the way to go.
