Is it running on all cylinders?

plugs/points/leads/dizzy cap/rotor arm all in good condition?

Just drifting back to the topic of miles per gallon; this last week my truck has averaged 35mpg. How about them apples?

I've just started some running tests on mpg on mine. The last £30 got me about 120 miles averaging 25mpg

I need to do one with full tank next. Then I'm going to make a few adjustments and install the weber and recheck.

all is fine running wise....... new plugs leads etc etc. just broke the fuel sender,..... so hope to find out how its doing when i fix it

Must be a fuelling/timing problem

Correction on my mpg. Iv improved it to 27.7mpg. I think I might be able to get 30 with a bit of careful driving but not sure about 35

What would be a good mpg for an SJ with fairly standard spec ?

I've only got 35 because I'm cruising on a dual carriage way at 45mph. 30 to a gallon is to be expected I think.

Id say the average is 25 - 30, so yours sounds about right, in a book I have there is a road test for a 413, the average mpg during the test was 26.4 so 35 is really good and a little beyond normal expectations!

Yeah, I was surprised, but I've been concentrating on getting good fuel economy. Steady speed, very gradual acceleration, changing up earlier than I normally would, trying not to stop at junctions when and where I can help it by approaching a bit slower, turning the engine off in solid traffic.

I've just photo'd the road test - a 413 averaged 24.8 mpg
