Assuming the tank in my TII is 16.x gallons like everyone says it is, my car has about 4 gallons left when it's on E.

That sounds like good advice. My friend Jeff has an 11-12 second daily driven Mustang with an 8 gallon fuel cell. He gets 24 miles to the tank, and can't get on the gas very hard when it's under 1/2 because it sloshes.

we actually figure that 16mpg is possible with a 20b

16 isn't bad....I get 17 out of my TII during hard driving, but even a stock 20B would have plenty more power. (Torque? WTF is that?)
