how much gas is saved when turning off car immediately after parking as opposed to waiting to take seatbelt off, roll up windows, etc?

I ask because I left my old car running at a drag strip with the keys locked inside once... for maximum performance, I used race fuel and kept my gas tank practically empty. It idled for a couple of hours before I got back into it and was still able to get me to the nearest gas station many miles away.
