Mpg

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

It was 20ish mpg with a 1.3 standard gears and 31s.

Fitted a rocklobster and got 38mpg on the motorway. Now got a 1.6 in it and 33s to go on. Yet to work out my MPG with that set up.

I get anywhere between 27 and 33 miles per with my SJ. She's a 410 4-speed with an SU carb on road tyres.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
