My Dodge 2.7L I was told would use 1.5 to 2 gallons per hour depending if measurement was taken on cold or warm start engine, but I'm not sure how accurate that statement was by the Dodge engineering rep. I was told by a diesel tech friend that if gas & diesel engines of same size were compared the gas engine would use about 3 or 4 time the fuel while at idle as the diesel.
