[Roadsters] MPG, mine is baddd (as well!)

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Graeme,

Owing in large part to significant additional oil production in the continental US, our gasoline prices are dropping.  Gas in NW Indiana is about $2.60 per gallon for 87 octane, a.k.a. "unleaded regular".  Just across the state line in the People's Republic of Chicago, gasoline is more expensive.  (Chicago's gas tax, and every other tax, as well, is much higher.)

On the last long trip I took in my '66 1600/U20 4-speed, I got about about 28 mpg at about 70 mph.  With my '67-1/2 2000 Solex, the number was 25-27 mpg at 75-80 mph.  All on premium fuel (92-93 octane).

Gary

I always chuckle when I hear that statement!
The price of gas: -
in Oz it is between $1.40 & $1.60/L depending on what RON number you buy.
Multiply that by 3.7 for $/US Gallon and see how you go!
