Long time ago I had a 1994 4.0L V6 that was doing good if it managed 16mpg on the highway at 65mph.
When I had my Prelude, I worked with a girl with a Metro, and a guy with an old truck. One day he told us that he figured out his mileage, so we asked.

He warned us that we were going to laugh.

8 MPG!

He said that he had been wondering where his money went.

He did not live close to work, either.
