It’s a lot of fuel and significantly more than a single flight uses, but there’s orders of magnitudes more flights, so no, it doesn’t make a huge difference right now. With massively increased cadence it might eventually.

Starship plus Booster load roughly 1000 tons of methane. We use roughly 1,000,000 tons of kerosene a day (world wide).
