[V8] low fuel milage on display.

[Ingo D. Rautenberg]

Kyle,

Definitely too low.  Have you checked for any fault codes?  When was the
Oxygen sensor last replaced?

I routinely get 315-340 miles (50/50 city/hwy mix) and 400-450 highly only.
That kind of mileage is what I'd expect for heavy-footed around-town only
driving.  Mileage figures about the same for Auto trans car.
