If you think filling your car’s gas tank is expensive, how about filling the tanks for a Boeing Co (NYSE:BA) 737-800?

A 737-800 has a fuel capacity of 6,875 gallons and as of April 25, according to the U.S. Gulf Coast Jet Fuel Spot price, jet fuel costs $4.27 a gallon, holding steady between this price and $3.04 since March 1.
