1. MG gas mileage (score: 1): Author: "Scott Gardner" <gardner@lwcomm.com>; Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 02:59:12 +0000; Todd, 25-28 mpg with mostly freeway driving? That's about what mine gets, and I guess it's not terrible, but for a 1.8L, fairly low-performance four-banger, it ain't nothing to write home about. My; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg01096.html (8,299 bytes)
2. Re: MG gas mileage (score: 1): Author: EMILY COWEN <ecowen@cln.etc.bc.ca>; Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 12:50:23 -0700 (PDT); Hi Scott Gardner!! According to David Vizard's engine dyno tests, the "A" series engine develops LESS horsepower with fuel injection, than with SU's. Well, I guess it's all relative... your perceptio; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg01136.html (8,162 bytes)

Re: MG gas mileage (score: 1): Author: Trevor Boicey <tboicey@brit.ca>; Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 16:38:47 -0400; I think he must have been testing a specific fuel injection system and getting those results. It's very possible that some carburetor combination will be better than some fuel injection combination,; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg01140.html (8,587 bytes)

It seems to be you bringing all these points back into the open. I only obliquely made reference that a point about fuel injection was absurd.

Re: MG gas mileage (score: 1): Author: Trevor Boicey <tboicey@brit.ca>; Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 19:42:25 -0400; Agreed that direct injection is better in about every way, but the grunt work is a bit more. One that comes to mind is that you need to develop a throttle. Throttle bodies obviously have throttles, a; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg01159.html (8,644 bytes)

A BIG advantage to direct injection as well as multi-port injection, is the dry manifold, without the usual fuel distribution problems.

Not only is it very general, I even threw in the word "highly unlikely" rather than making it decisive. My point is that given infinite money a; /html/mgs/1997-06/msg01186.html (8,955 bytes)

One of the "compromises" with carbs is that you must have some sort of venturi restriction to give a low pressure area to carburate into.

In fact when these cars were new 25 mpg was fantastic mileage. The Volkswagen Beetle got 25 mpg and bragged about it.

Most fuel injection systems inject while the inlet valve is closed. As the valve opens the air-flow helps to mix the fuel.
