A few weeks ago I dug up an old post concerning fuel burn rates - and now I can't find it.
That thread stated that the fuel rate is per flight hour - but what is the cost per gallon/liter? Other threads I pulled up said that the price does change from year to year to account for inflation and whatnot, but I can't seem to find out what I'm actually paying for fuel.
I'm very pragmatic and make my plane purchases based on algorithms I use for (purchase) cost per seat mile, but I want to be able to base that on operational cost per seat mile. For example in World 3185 the Caravelle's are pretty bitchin' planes but you have three (well - two good) options, the N and the R. They are priced $200,000 apart and have a 2 gallon/liter burn difference. Without knowing what I'm paying for fuel, it's impossible to know which has the advantage over it's 1, 2, or 3 year lifespan.
Could we have the fuel costs listed somewhere in the admin or operations pages?
