I've just done a couple of longer trips in Baby Blue and, despite her oil
leaks she was running well & I got pretty goodmileage,  37 mpg for the 400
miles trip for the Stafford weekend and nearly 40mpg this last week
including a 100 mile round trip to the Stafford Show. I'm amazed myself. I
don't know how I've manged it, sorry.
