And I will state that if we are getting mileage between 16 and 20, then what
the heck has Detroit been doing over the last 40 years. Certainly not
improving on what the British did with our cars. I would bet that there are
few of us who can get mileage on new cars remotely close to the sticker
mileage which is computed in a laboratory and not real world conditions as
you guys did.

There are countless permutations involved here guys.
Sorry if the topic got a little too technical, but folks who were out on the
road last week and had their own personal experiences were interested in the
experiences of other folks on the road. But, as you note, one can't simply
say what mileage one got without noting what engine and tranny one has, and
the conditions under which one was driving.
But I think our job here is done: Healeys generally get between 16 and 20
mpg, and anything outside that range is an issue for concern or a damned
lie.
