oldoberon - How much of this tankered fuel would you burn just to carry it, ie more weight less MPG.

however this extra weight may be the reason why max pax was not available as opposed to some very heavy freight in the hold.








You burn slightly less than 3% per hour, of any additional weight carried. Simple rule of thumb is 3% for mental math.
