What killed it was not fuel costs
No, it was definitely the cost to operate it and the sonic boom associated with flying at that speed. The company operating the Concorde never made a profit.

British Airways certainly made a profit from Concorde, which was operated by a separate division of the company.
I don't know if (then state-owned) Air France did.
