The one go-around I've done on the -400 was in FRA, with a subsequent long downwind to 20+ miles out to slot us into traffic, and that cost us 4 tons (at about 250t weight): would also be curious to hear what figures other -400 pilots use.
(On the classic it was possibly closer to 5t

Depending on how wide you are vectored, I think 3-3500kgs for vectors to a 10nm final would be pretty close.
I once did a go-around with the gear left down due to gear indication problems, we landed 20min later having used 5200kgs

Similar 1) Missed app or T/O to initial set Hdg 2100kg
2) Circuit 1400kg
3) 30 min fiexed Res 4800kg
4) taxi 1000kg
There is a lot of local knowledge in real life, for example a missed app on HKG 07L takes 5 ton to fly 'the square' and get back. As mentioned same for FRA to rejoin the daisy chain and God knows in places like JFK, still trying to work those people out.

Not exactly the same, but a C-5 w/ GE CF-6s burns 5000 pounds a radar pattern to an 10 nm ILS--go-around to touchdown. I know because one week I flew 62 patterns in 12.9 hours of flight time. And innumerable other trainers.
