On a 800 mile trip cruising at 75mph I average 26-28mpg

Around regional cities it drops down to 22 mpg.

In metropolitan areas then 18mpg is normal.

Compared with other vehicles, fuel consumption is good at speed but drops-off badly when sitting in traffic.

This is on a stock 12a engine with a good header/exhaust and a modified Nikki carb.
