Default Gas consumption while idling

Does anyone know how much fuel these super duty trucks consume over a certain amount of time while idling?
Just got me a 6.2L 2016 model and I usually sit in my truck for my lunch breaks. I can definitely tell I'm burning a lot more gas when I do sit in my truck idling and I'm just curious to know how much fuel I'm actually wasting by doing this

Typically, vehicles don't consume that much fuel at idle. I've never sat in my truck while idling for more than a few minutes here and there, but mine's a diesel rather then the 6.2L. I know the 6.2L engine is a pig as far as gas engines go.

Does anyone know how much fuel a 2008 Ford F150 5.4 Triton consumes while its idling? I warm my truck up before I drive it and I wonder how much fuel I use.

I think the 6.7L consumes about 2 gph at low idle. Hope that helps.
