there was a show on Top Gear (Discovery Channel carried it for a couple of months) and the guy had a Volvo diesel V8, i think it was. someone told him the thing could go either 600 or 800 miles on a tank of gas... i'm leaning more towards 800... it's been a while since i've seen the episode. so he tested it. drove the car without heat, without the cruise control and did not accelerate fast any so as not to waste fuel, and sure enough... he made it from beginning to end (once again, i think it was 800 miles.. but i cannot remember), on one tank of fuel! it was quite impressive. and it was indeed a V8 engine! i do remember that much correctly.
