[Vwdiesel] fuel use

[Brian and Ruth Decker]

HI Folks;

                Does anyone have any Idea how much fuel per hour a 1.6
diesel would use at a continuous idle? Just wondering how long I could run
the heater if I was stuck in a snow bank in a blizzard. I have to cross a
mountain pass every other weekend from now thru March including a trip from
Western Washington to Georgia the middle of February.
