If he is telling porkies, I will find out because I have just bought it off him and not putting it on the road until at least next March/April when it will have everything that wants doing to it, done. I will then post up what it does to the gallon in my ownership. I do know that when he bought it 10 years ago, coming back from where he bought it he got almost 41 mpg. I know because I was with him, and it was brim to brim. Can not stand these people who believe nothing they are told because it does not match their ‘knowledge’. Sorry.
I don't really much care what you can stand or not. I will bet you that it can't be done. 42 mpg in a V6 auto. No ways!
