After Jack tried to defuse the bomb under the bus, he punctured the fuel tank. When he told Annie what had happened, the fuel gauge is shown and the needle quickly advanced toward empty. For how much fuel was lost during a very short cut away from the fuel gauge and back to it, it would have emptied out within no more than two minutes. Yet several long minutes went by between the last shot of the fuel gauge and when the bus finally ran out of gas.
Possible explanation: The bus might be fairly fuel-efficient, so if there was enough gas in the fuel lines and other fuel system components, it could allow the bus to remain running for a good while even after the tank was empty. Also, if the punctured hole wasn't at the very bottom (lowest point) of the tank (the sending unit might be in a fairly deep "well" at the very bottom of the tank to allow every bit of gas in the tank to be pumped out), then a little gas could still be left even after the gas above the hole had all leaked out.
