That's about 120 miles at 65 mph, and 100 miles stop and go driving around
town.
40 mpg surprised the hell out of me...as you know, it's rare that I baby a
car...

Just checked my 1275 (+.040") street Midget's mileage.
Got a bit over 34, but that was long stretches of bumper-
to-bumper followed by 30 miles of 75MPH, so it is rather
less than ideal conditions :-) Typical Chicagoland, however.
Yes, I also have the advantage of a 3.9 diff and a Datsun
5-speed. I am quite impressed with your 40mpg ! How
did you manage to keep your foot out of it that long???
