2000 Honda Insight 1.0L L3. 0RPM/0gph once warm. 900-1100RPM if you interrupt the auto stop. The ScanGauge says something like 0.11gph at idle, but it is extremely poor at measuring the fuel consumption of my car. But I suppose I should go get an accurate reading of fuel consumption at idle by rolling down the road at 15mph with the engine idling and checking Honda's instantaneous FE readout.

I've seen other cars where pressing the brake raises the idle. I bet it's vacuum related, but you can test by turning on the headlights to create a 110W electrical load.

My last car was a 1996 Subaru 2.2L. 0.24-0.26gph, 800RPM.
