I see your point, however, at what point do you consider "per tank" to be? 18.5? (full capacity, but I doubt any of us dry out the tank) 15 gallons? 13 gallons? Do you see how inconsistent this is, and what you consider "per tank" to be could drastically differ from others? "300 miles per tank" could mean 20 MPG (300miles / 15 gallons) or 17.6MPG (300/17) or 16.2MPG (300/18.5).
