How much fuel does a school bus burn while idling?


How much fuel does a school bus burn while idling? A typical school bus burns approximately one-half gallon of diesel fuel for each hour it idles. Thus, if a company operates 50 buses and each bus reduces its idling time by 30 minutes per day, at $1per gallon of diesel fuel, the company would save $2,250 per school year in fuel costs.
