The newest and most efficient new Flyer city bus gets no more than 5 mpg.
Yes, they do a lot of people moving for that 5mpg, but it's still 5mpg.

I remember reading somewhere that busses move more people per gallon than any other vehicle, including planes.

London's newest bus manages 6.7, and there are plans to further refine the design, eventually hitting around 7.7. It's still not a lot, though.

Relevant info from the wikiverse
In July 2005, the average occupancy for buses in the UK was stated to be 9. [59]
A commuter service in Santa Barbara, California , USA, found average diesel bus efficiency of 6.0 mpg -US (39 L/100 km; 7.2 mpg -imp ) (using MCI 102DL3 buses). With all 55 seats filled this equates to 330 passenger mpg; with 70% filled, 231 passenger mpg. [60] At an average load of 9 people the efficiency would be 54 passenger mpg and could be half of this figure when many stops are made in urban routes.
