Fuel Costs

QF flies a 747 to LA with 350 pax, fuel levy per pax ex SYD is $253.
Total revenue collected from punters is $88550.00

How much fuel does one of those things actually burn to LA ?
On another thread, it was claimed it cost $495,000 to fly a B744 empty from SYD to LAX. Not sure if it's true. What's the fuel burn? JET-A1 is around $160/bbl. How many litres/kg in a bbl?
