Let's do this:

Let your car and your parent's car run out of gas. Put one gallon each in each vehicle. Let's see who runs out of gas first.

That is a true test.

My daily drivers are mid-90s Lincoln Town Cars with the huge 4.6-liter V8 engines (same engine as the police-issue Crown Victoria). My highway fuel economy is about 26 miles/gallon and my city fuel mileage is about 20 miles/gallon for an average of about 23 miles/gallon. Both cars have around 150,000 miles and are maintained regularly. Take that, import car manufacturers.
