Maybe that gent is carrying around a full cargo of helium balloons, thus
making his vehicle lighter :)

It depends on driving style, load, hills, etc.  I get 29.5 MPG regularly
with my '93 Continental, as long as I don't speed over 65 too much, and
don't stomp it too hard.  Locally, I hit 'bout 12-13 MPG.
