[V8] Real world V8 mpg

[Tony and Lillie]

Our 1991 3.6L stock V8Q Automatic has the 4-wire ford O2 sensor. It gets 
about 18MPG around town and 24-25MPG on the highway. That's my calculation. 
The computer almost always reads one higher than that. The A/C seems to 
change it about one lower as well. Oh, and we both drive a bit aggressive 
(I'm worse than the Wife!!)
