More information on fuel usage and fuel costs

I think it would be much better if you could see fuel usage and costs, this would allow you to be able to understand the fuel costs you receive, and how you can reduce them.

Already proposed, I think.

I had questioned this on another topic, but since nobody else knew, I thought I'd go and try to find a pattern. Below I have 2 planes for each route and some of their data and the fuel cost observed for each. I noticed that when I divided the Fuel Cost/fuel flow, I got close numbers, but just not it. So, when I divided it by both Fuel Flow and the route time, I kept getting numbers close to 0,533 (tested it on A340 and 747 long routes too). So, I think the formula to calculate the Fuel Costs would be: FC = 0,533 * FF * Route Time. So, the Fuel Flow's units would be mass/hour or volume/hour, the 0,533 would be dollars/mass or dollars/volume. Any thoughts?

that would be useful if this information was added to the game!

This may be somewhat off topic to this discussion but how about fuel hedging? I mean in some worlds, the cost of fuel is rising and it is a pain in the butt to find a way to decrease fuel costs. So far what I have learned from fuel hedging is that it is basically "fuel insurance" and can cover lets say 50% for 4 years and you have to pay fee every month. In the end you can save maybe from 2 million dollars to up to 20 million dollars, depending on how big your airline is.
