    19 to 21 mpg over 40000 miles. Same with 34pict-3 and progressive carb.
    1641 Devon Eurovette poptop largely original interior.
    185/65R15 alloys.
    motorway at 65+ for the most part.
    Just had new engine and the tracking done. So may be a change for the better.
     
  3. Between 18-20 per gallon. Tin top, stock height and with a full length roof rack that doesn't help.

    in US speak that comes out as 16mpg or less than the 220hp Ford Fusion I hired in 2008 and cruised LA then drove up to Death Valley, Mammoth Lakes , Yosemite , Monterey and then Moonstone Beach , Santa Barbara and LA.

    And I am not sure of the engine builder ... it took me several tries to get it all in the crankcase so that it went round at alll...

  20. Desmond has completed 230 miles on £10 worth. That's to say he had £10 put in him and its been used to get him on and off several yellow taxis. I'm not helping am I?
