What’s the fuel bill to fly a 757-200 across the country, from New York to Los Angeles?



About $21,600.



That, at least, was the cost of the fuel burned on a recent transcontinental Delta flight I was on, according to the flight’s captain. Out of 7,500 gallons of fuel on board, we burned about 6,760 gallons.



Clearly, the price of fuel is hugely important for airlines. And rising prices aren’t helping.
