3Lt/100Km/passenger
"THE European aviation industry staked its future on the world’s largest passenger plane yesterday as Airbus unveiled its 555-seat A380 superjumbo."
"Airbus claimed the A380 would be as economical as a diesel family car - consuming fewer than three litres of fuel per passenger per 100km."
"The A380 will also be able to fly 9,000 miles - five per cent further than a 747 - and a stretched version is planned that could carry 800 people."
REF: Airbus: master of the sky, or white elephant?
