Need to know operating cost for a large bus to carry elderly warlocks who get lost when flying.
Does it use regular gas or diesel? MPG?

Six miles to the gallon. While idling, consumes one and
one-half gallons. Fuel tanks of newer buses have around
220 gallon capacity while older buses have 185 gallon
capacity. Newer buses have range of about 1,200 miles.
Engines last between 300,000 and 500,000 miles (includes
lots of idle time) before needing replacement. Newer
technology requirements taking effect January 1st will
allegedly reduce working life of newer engines. Effort
is to reduce pollution by government. By the way,
the "Greyhound" type buses are called coaches.
Distinction between the two terms varies, but my own
distinction is that coaches have restrooms. Buses don't.
New highway coach costs around $400,000. Buses
(like school buses) cost around $50,000. So, another
distinction between the two is difference of $350,000.
More than you ever wanted to know about buses (aka:
coaches). Uses diesel fuel. Elderly warlocks are
frequently transported. Every two hours stop for restroom. Play non-stop bingo between rest stops.

Goodness! I imagine four miles to the gallon. Make sure everyone chips in for bus fare.

N..now you know what the cost is whenever I get myself in a predicament. My powers aren't what they used to be, Dearie. I..I'm quite certain we can whip up some fuel for our bus without PAYING for it...Oh, MY!

if you are serious?? diesel, usually, and a very rough estimate would be 12-16 mpg

If it is the "Magic Bus" it needs no fuel!
