How long would it take to burn 4 gallons of gas in a Focus that is idling?
Someone broke into one of my company's cars and started it. When it was discovered it had used 4 gallons. Ha ha, big joke.

Any idea?

4. Sounds about right.
Car was turned off at 10 PM and discovered at 12:30 PM the next day.
