Depends on afew things, if there is any types of fuel savers on the vehicle, if the engine has decent compression, if there is any sludge build up and what not... id say tho probably 30-40min... maybe even longer, my Dodge Spirit with a 2.5 can go probably about an hour or more, idling on a gallon of gas.
