Do you have any numbers on seat mile fuel burn of the A380 as compared to Boeings 787 Dreamliner?

Supposedly two 787-10's (the 787-10 hasn't been launched yet) would have slightly more passengers while having lower CASM and more cargo. One 787-10 would have about 1.8 times more revenue cargo than an A380. Having two decks full of passengers with baggage eats into the space available for cargo.

Its 'Pukin' It aint poor English like this sentence.

The Dreamliner blows everything away in terms of seat-mile costs. The A-380 gets its efficiency from stuffing it with people like a cattle car. It really isn't very efficient at all.
