That drawing easily shows why it will fail, and it's not the cost of the fuel. Look at the amount of passengers compared to the size of it. Airlines will not go for that disparity in efficiency at all. Everything they do is to maximize revenue and minimize fuel costs, the largest expenditure by far, to stay afloat or turn a profit.

It's supposed to be a business jet.
