Question: What is the fuel burn for A340-300 per hour?

From reading a lot of topics on a-net i was pretty sure, that the A340 consumes a bit more fuel than the A330.

Then i looked at the SK homepage, where they have a breakdown of their fleet.

http://www.sas.dk/da/Om-SAS-Danmark2/SAS...

According to these numbers the A340-300 consumes 0.039 liter pr seat/pr kilometer.

In comparison the A330-300 consumes 0.051 liter pr seat/pr kilometer.

The aircraft have the exact same number of seats, lenght, wingspan and weight.

The only difference is, that the A340 has 3.100 km longer range.

Can anyone shed a light on, how this adds up with all the statements on a-net regarding high fuel consumption on the A340 vs. A330.
