How much fuel(gallons)is used by a B767 on a non-stop flight from Atlanta to Honolulu?
I take the Delta non-stop for a visit every year. The flight takes on average about 9 hrs.

why to ask? do you intend to kidnap it and hit somewhere :) for your info, few months back a passenger asked the same question, he was transferred toFBI

This question is almost impossible to answer. Depending on the model and configuration of 767 used, it will hold about 24,000 gallons of jet fuel. The actual amount used will depend greatly on weight and weather conditions, including head or tail winds. I would say between 12-18 thousand gallons.

theres a few varients to the 767, and there are many variables (wind, weight, speed, taxi, takeoff, holding patterns before landing). the plane will hold just a little over 24,000 us gallons of fuel. my rough estimate is that it would use up about 16,000 - 20,000 gallons during that flight. but as i said before, theres a lot of variables in that.
