In my 18 wheeler, its a gallon an hour.
So, I'm sure in a car its less than that.

I drive a 96 Pontiac Trans Am, I didn't know I was supposed to take my foot off the accelerator. All kidding aside, it gets terrible mileage. It's a sports car.

i read a literature that says that if you have to keep your engine idling for more than a minute, you are better off switching off, which would save more energy. Anything less than one minute, just leave it on

Toyota Priuses don't idle, they just sit there until you step on the accelerator, so there.
