[Healeys] Gas Milage

[m.g.sharp at sympatico.ca]

Hi Greg,  I regularly get over 20 mpg in my BT7, so something is wrong.  If what you are saying that you only got 98 miles on full tank of gas, something is seriously amiss.  Is it possible that when your car was in the shop some fuel was drained from the tank for some reason?

Evening,

 

Just got my '65 BJ8 back from an extended stay at a body/paint shop. Old English white with a red interior. It looks great.

 

Problem is, I ran out gas.  My trip Odo said 98 miles, I can usually go around 150 and, talking to a friend, he said he can go 200 miles on a tank.

 

The car seems to run fine, not missing, no black smoke.

 

Any ideas why my milage dropped 30% and should I be getting 200 miles on a fill-up?

 

I don't smell gas in the garage, but I will be checking for leaks in the morning.
