Despite its ability to carry 35 per cent more passengers than its competitor, the A380 burns 12 per cent less fuel per seat -- reducing operating costs and minimising its effects on the environment at the same time through fewer emissions. The A380 burns fuel per passenger at a rate comparable to that of an economical family car. Specifically the Airbus A380 has a consumption of less than 3 litres per passenger per 100 kilometres. The Airbus A380 generates as little as 75 g of CO2 per passenger kilometre, knowing that the European car industry aims at 140 g of CO2 per km in 2009
These are two completely different aircraft designed for completely different purposes. The only way to compare them directly would be to compare the average profit per passenger per mile. To collect that data however would be an arduous process but if you really wanted to know which is "best", it may be your only option.
Fuel Capacity: 7,835 US Gallons (30,000 Litres) Gallons/Mile: 2.569 (9.76 Litres/Mile) Gallons/PassengerMile: .0171 (.065 Litres/ PassengerMile)
A documented 600 mile, short-haul roundtrip from London to Dusseldorf in a BA A320-100 used 4,800 kg of fuel for a total of 114 minutes aloft. 4,800kg of Jet Fuel is roughly equal to 1,590 US Gallons which gives a fuel economy of 0.377 mpg / 2.65 gal/mile.
The engine will consume 22.75 gallons of fuel during warmup, burnout, staging, and the quarter-mile run., actual fuel economy is around 16gals per mile
The information in the question seems to be garbled.First, you do realise that at 10 mph, a 311 mile journey will take 31.1 hours!Second, 57 gallons at 10 mph does not say anything about the fuel efficiency of your vehicle and so there is no way to calculate how much fuel you would need for a 311 mile journey.The information in the question seems to be garbled.First, you do realise that at 10 mph, a 311 mile journey will take 31.1 hours!Second, 57 gallons at 10 mph does not say anything about the fuel efficiency of your vehicle and so there is no way to calculate how much fuel you would need for a 311 mile journey.The information in the question seems to be garbled.First, you do realise that at 10 mph, a 311 mile journey will take 31.1 hours!Second, 57 gallons at 10 mph does not say anything about the fuel efficiency of your vehicle and so there is no way to calculate how much fuel you would need for a 311 mile journey.The information in the question seems to be garbled.First, you do realise that at 10 mph, a 311 mile journey will take 31.1 hours!Second, 57 gallons at 10 mph does not say anything about the fuel efficiency of your vehicle and so there is no way to calculate how much fuel you would need for a 311 mile journey.
It depends on the price of the fuel.
It depends on the fuel efficiency of your mode of transport as well as your driving style.

Gallons per mile? No vehicle burns that much fuel.
One straightforward way to calucate auto cost per mile (if your only taking fuel consumption into account) is: Price per gallon of fuel divided by the vehicle's average Miles per Gallon. e.g., $3.80 per gallon / 22MPG = 0.172727 per mile therefore, it would cost $ 0.173 per mile or 17.3 cents per mile. Other factors such as vehicle deprecation, tolls, oil use, insurance also should be considered in account but would complicate the equation.
Because if it were not, it would not be a mile!
