> So I ask, what do your numbers represent? And I said, it's right there if you actually take 5 seconds to Google. Literally the top result [1] says [2] that for a medium-haul flight (3,240–6,300 km), a 747-800 burns 9.9 kg/km of fuel, which at 917 km/h and 0.81 kg/L density, comes out to 0.82 gal/s if I'm doing my math correctly. So I guess my bad for being off by a whopping... 20%? Like I said, I'm all ears if you have better numbers, but it's quite inconsiderate to just casually dismiss what people say with so little effort and force them to spend 20 minutes to respond.
