Hi Rick,
Not a direct answer to your question, but one thing has to be taken into this calculation: number of passengers/cargo carried.
OK, here's an example. I am currently on the flight from Quito to Bueonos Aires. I am using the Level-D B767. I am carrying 37.7 tons of cargo. Due to some limitations in TOPCAT that is almost equal to 264 PAX and 10 tons of cargo. Distance to travel is roughly 2550 NM. Scheduled fuel burn should be something around 30.2 tons (9970 gallons). Per NM it will burn around 3.9 gallons. If we now divide this through the number of PAX we should get a result of 0.01 gallons per NM...
I really hope my calculation is correct otherwise:
