Hi List,
I've been poking around in the many books and article reprints about Healeys
that I have, and can find next to nothing about what kind of gas mileage
various Healeys get.
I guess the lack of information is an indication that gas mileage for these
cars is irrelevant, and misses the point completely, in that they are a hoot
to drive regardless of whatever the fuel economy is..
Still, I have been wondering how the mileage compares between the different
models, engines and carb setups. I recall that my car got about 18 mpg with
the twin HDs before restoration and conversion back to the correct triple
HS4s.
Also wondered how much better it is with the 4 cylinder engines than with the
sixes.
I have not put enough miles on it since, to see if there is a significant
mileage / range difference now.
Would listers mind indicating their carb / engine / modifications (if any) /
condition, and the city/hwy mileage and range? -Just curious.
