    Continental's 757s Running Low on Fuel on Some Transatlantic Flights | Autopia from Wired.com

    Hmm...

    Quoted: But on some of these European routes, the 757, with a range of 3,900 nautical miles, cuts it a little close. Barcelona is 3,398 nautical miles from Newark. Throw weather and holding patterns into the mix, and you're not leaving much room for error. Perhaps not coincidentally, Barcelona-Newark is one of the routes where the FAA found that pilots most often made fuel declarations.
