Now, if it is a fuel injected and electronically managed engine, then it probably does not inject ANY fuel as soon as the ECM senses this situation.
If it is carburetted, matter is as Rod and Jerry posted although most modern carbs reduce the fuel ratio as the vacuum increases. So really depends on how old your car is, as to how it copes with all these running situations
An engine running at idle should only burn enough fuel just to keep it going, and more to increase the rpms so higher gear and brakes is probably the least fuel option - but what about brake wear as a cost as well as those safety issues.
