Assuming you filled the tank to exact capacity (13 GAL), then drive exactly one mile, it would be 0.076923...MPG
Practically though, you would most likely be marginally worse than that because fuel capacity does not normally take into account the fuel filler so you would burn slightly more that 13GAL. Also, I'm not sure if capacity is listed in USABLE fuel or overall capacity when talking cars.
