Hi Jim
This is a tease of a question, and I must agree Magnus's comments. I
have a road/rallye DWR camshaft and a few other modifications, in the city
I average about 14 mpg (imperial measurement) while mixed town/country
it is approximately 21 mpg. Straight highway driving at
speeds between 70 to 75 mph I average 26-28mph ,the variation is related
to wind direction and wind speed. In addition part of the
low mpg in the city may also be attributed to the electronic fuel pump I
am using, it is 4 psi rather than the recommended 2.7 psi.
I have used albeit infrequently regular with approximately 10 percent
ethanol and note a 2-4 mpg decline in performance.
Kind regards
