[6pack] 3 carbs

[Jim Jones]

Well, I say, "What's the point?" For most of us these cars are toys that are driven occasionally as opposed to daily drivers. In my youth I drove my first TR6 600 miles in a day in 95 degree head. At age 52 I'd never even contemplate such a feat. (Yes, I'm whimpy old white guy!) For me, my car is for enjoyment and tinkering to see how much more zip I can get out of it. Fuel economy is not part of that equation.
 
No disrespect meant. Just responding to your query, bro'!

List
 
A few of at our bi-weekly breakfast today were talking of gas economy
for the stock TR6.
 
Is there any advantage, from an economy stand point, to
use the 1.5  carbs from the GT 6 on  a 3 carb manifold? 
 
Having the runners
straighter and putting less and more precise amounts of fuel into each
cylinder should help economy on a stock engine.
 
What say you all?
