A plane like a Boeing 747 uses approximately 1 gallon of fuel (about 4 liters) every second. Over the course of a 10-hour flight, it might burn 36,000 gallons (150,000 liters). According to Boeing's Web site, the 747 burns approximately 5 gallons of fuel per mile (12 liters per kilometer). This sounds like a tremendously poor miles-per-gallon rating! But consider that a 747 can carry as many as 568 people.
They hold anywhere from 3,000lbs to 400,000lbs. A Bombardier Challenger 605 holds 20,000lbs of jet fuel. It depends what state you live in, but the average price per gallon of jet fuel is $5.00. There is about 5 lbs per gallon, and the jet uses about 4 lbs per mile. Jonas Â· 9 years ago
