Will some bored intelligent person please explain this with real numbers?

Lets assume:
49ers and Dolphins. Air travel to and from.
VS
20,000 Hummers traveling 12,000 miles per year @ 10 MPG over the average 20MPG commuter.

How many football games does it take to equal the ADDITIONAL fuel used by the hummers?
