Re: Mpg??
It depends what kind of driving I'm doing.
I find that if I'm nipping around town I get around 20-25... whereas on long runs I get around 30
Might be because I like accelerating quickly

Re: Mpg??
What twiss said, except I never got 30mpg mine was more mid to high 20's although when the original carb failed and the choke got stuck on I had an all time low of 18mpg!

Re: Mpg??
my 1300 used to have mood swings
sometimes it would be drinking it like it was oil
other times it seemed to go forever on a 10er
not that the guages are that great anyway!

Almost gpm 
with 33s a 1.6 8v and twin transfer boxes I'm lucky to get 20mpg really, that is with a stock carb and a choke that doesn't work properly though
