It depends on some factors, but the cardinal factor is your torque converter. If you have a high stall speed TC installed, it will need some gas to move. Has it always been like that?

Then there is nothing to worry about. Just confirm there is no strange noise when you engage the gear - forward or reverse.

Your brakes may be binding or one of the wheels isn't spinning freely. You may need to jack up each wheel to be sure.

Your fuel consumption will be higher if wheels do not spin freely.
