[Spridgets] Runs great, but terrible mileage - Weber 40 for sale

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

On my Sprite I swapped from the early tank to the larger late tank to get a 
 bigger tank but it was a waste of time.  I ran the car till the tank was  
nearly empty, pumped out what was left (measured it) put it back in and 
filled  the tank to the brim and then had the real world tank capacity.
 
Any Weber DCOE is only heavy on fuel because you don't have distributor  
vacuum advance for when you are driving slowly or because you tend not to  
accelerate or drive slowly anymore anyway.
 
It's foot to the floor work - usually lots of acceleration rather than  
having the car flat out that drops the fuel consumption.
