So you want to know how much fuel it costs to move your butt from point A to B on an airplane when fuel costs $100/barrel. Here are some stats from the Air Canada fuel department.
"Fuel is the greatest single expense item for Air Canada. Fuel remains a concern, and it gave us challenges last quarter, adding $32 million to our costs. It would have been $150 million more if not for our hedging programs, the stronger Canadian dollar and benefits of taking freighters out of service.
