The ratio of the number of miles traveled to the number of gallons of gasoline burned. AKA... how many miles are left before your car dies

An irrelevant reference to oil/gasoline in the American culture. While it is paramount to Americans that they have oil, the amount that they burn is of no concern. In the American culture, "wasting oil" means using it for something other than their luxury purposes and the polution generated by their oil use qualifies them for tax relief.
