Specs on the current model Boeing 747-400, 57,000 U.S. gallons fuel capacity with 8,000 mile range so it gets something like 6-9 gallons a mile. so lets say 8 gallons/mile, at around 8 pounds per gallon,= 65 pounds of fuel per mile... so it uses around 26 tons of fuel in 800 miles but they say they put out 28 tons of co2 in the same distance?????
thats interesting... Ray J >Just seen this on our BBC TV channel " every 800 miles travelled by a jumbo >jet dumps 28 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere."
