YVR-LHR-YVR 9446 miles http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=YVR-LHR-YVR
fuel cost/seat = $538.42
AC fuel surcharge = $412.00
AC paid fuel portion = $126.42
326% fuel surcharge

YYZ-LHR-YYZ 7112 miles http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=YYZ-LHR-YYZ
fuel cost/seat = $405.38
AC fuel surcharge = $412.00
AC paid fuel portion = ($6.62)
fuel surcharge exceeds fuel cost


And before the AC lovers jump in and point out that doesn't take into account load factor, it also doesn't take into account double YQ on J class seats.
