and J type o/d. I drive fairly aggressively .

While the 'BBC' is undergoing a diff, rear suspension, front suspension
etc overhaul, I've been tootling around town in the LBC. This week's
Northern California sunshine was great; today's hi fog and cool breeze
isn't. Been checking the gas consumption over the last 3 weeks or so,
it's averaging about 14.7 US gallon. It's a mix of city and local
freeway driving. I think it's low, the 87 jag gets better! Out of
curiosity, what's the general average for general town/freeway driving.
I'm pretty cautious on the throttle, rarely over 3000-3500. The tail
pipes are quite sooty, so I think maybe a leaning is required.
Especially is my mileage is significantly lower than other driver's
experiences.
Thanks
