Well, the first week after I got my 82 Diesel back in 95, I had filled the
tank a few days earlier and reset the trip odometer to Zero so I could see
what kind of mileage this strange beast would get.
I was driving, driving, driving, needle got down to just above orange.
Little did I know it would never go lower than this due to a tank float
issue.  I run out of gas one the up-ramp to a drawbridge less then a mile
from my house.  The trip odometer said 425
Low and behold they are painting the bridge and there is a small tank of
diesel on back of sand blasting truck.  They gave me a gallon and I made
to the gas station.
Now I fill up after hitting 350 and never more then 400.  27mpg for a 5200
lb. van.  OK with me.
