[V8] V8 MPG actual

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Yeah, well I've never been able to put 21 gallons of fuel in my tank(s) and I doubt anyone here has, either! I ran out of gas once on the '90 and I think it took a bit more than 19 gallons and the same was true for the 93 V8.

So I think there's something wrong with my car.  We have 21gal. tanks,
right?  I tend to go about 250-300 miles on a tank, which means I'm getting
about 12-14mpg.  :/
