Anyone Know a Good Source for A/C Fuel Economy?

Does anyone know a good source for the typical fuel economy (by aircraft type)?

I'm primarily interested in info on passenger miles per gallon assuming a reasonably full aircraft on a long-haul route (Transcon, TransPac or TATL).

For example, if a 752 flies IAD-SFO with 85% of the seats occupied, how much fuel does it burn over that 2,419 mile flight?

How about you pilots out there? Any help?

Thanks.
