5 miles a day is 60days of driving on my 91 8v. or in city, 48 days 10 gallons.
hell someone can steal your gas in 60days, had that done to me 2 times, one time with ice pick to my tank.
MPG is best done during and after a long trip, total miles and total gallons
and oops is this USA gallons? or those funny ones up in CANADA, ? 1.2 timeS larger that USA gallons !
AT 80MPH THE CAR IS IN WIDE-OPEN THROTTLE MODE AND USES 12;1 FUEL RATIO NOT 14.7:1 AND USES WAY MORE FUEL FOR THAT AND THE RAW SPEED,(DOUBLE HIT TO Mpg)
the energy used is the cube of velocity, in cars, on the ground at sealevel where the air is thick, and at high speeds you are not only force AIR out of the way you compress it.
this uses huge energy and fuel at 80mph.
see this marks super answer,

the fuel consumption is based on the engine tune (and in this case 5th gear overdrive friction) and at 80mph the air friction is a BIG DEAL.
I can drive my car at 45-55mph and get 28mpg at 60mph actual
all other speeds are less. every car made has magic speed that gets max MPG, and 80 mph is never it.
some are 45mph, other 55. and is easy to discover, if car is 1996 or newer, hell my jeep shows this in the cluster 2008
If the MPG is bad at 60mph, get new 02 sensor. (and make sure the CEL turns on, key on, and stays out driving (just like new cars do)
good luck to you !!!
