I currently get 21MPG, according to my TR6 odometer, which reads at
approximately 1.17 of correct mileage, according to the odometer correction
factors used on my last two TSD rallyes.
Thus, the "corrected mileage" corresponds to about 18MPG in "real" miles. This
is worse mileage than a TR6 should give, since I *know* that my car is running
quite rich, and I drive the TR6 in the manner that LBCs were intended to be
driven! :-) :-)
I have read told that a TR6 that has been properly tuned and adjusted should
get around 20/24MPG (city/highway), but can do even better on MPG with even
leaner tuning and more sedate driving.
