How much fuel does our engine use when idling?

Preferably with the AC on. Gallons per hour or cc's per minute or something like that.

Hmmmm, tough question. From one who has idled it a lot, I can say this. You could maybe go a day if you had a full tank of gas. Maybe 1/4 tank after 4-5 hours? So let's say in my experience, maybe under 1 gallon per hour.

I agree, something very close to that. I idle a ton. I’ll leave it on a lot so it’s cool for our summers (Las Vegas). The idle should be very low. I’ve heard others say three or more, and I just don’t agree. It’s very very minimal.
