How much diesel does a bus use?

The amount of diesel fuel a bus uses can vary depending on several factors, including the size and type of bus, the efficiency of its engine, the route it travels, and the traffic conditions it encounters. Here are some general estimates of diesel consumption for different types of buses:

* Standard city bus: A standard city bus with a diesel engine typically gets between 4.5 and 6.5 miles per gallon (MPG). This means that for every gallon of diesel fuel, the bus can travel between 4.5 and 6.5 miles.

* School bus: A school bus with a diesel engine typically gets between 5 and 7 MPG.

* Intercity coach: An intercity coach with a diesel engine typically gets between 6 and 8 MPG.

* Double-decker bus: A double-decker bus with a diesel engine typically gets between 4 and 6 MPG.

These estimates are based on average fuel economy ratings and may vary depending on specific bus models and operating conditions.
