You could obtain an approximation of miles per gallon by filling your tank to full noting the number of gallons needed to fill the tank. Drive until you run out of gas noting the number of miles covered. Then divide the number of gallons into the mileage to reach miles per gallon.
If you used 5 gallons of gas to drive 20 miles your miles per gallon would total 4.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
