In the end it'll do what it does, no matter what it runs on but if you can avoid pressing the accelerator pedal, you'll at least get the best MPG you can.
Not really you have to know a ballpark figure or you won't know if something is wrong. I recently had one choke fail apart a more rapid emtpying of the fuel tank I and a slightly increased idle speed after a 170 odd mile motorway run. I didn't feel much else wrong. If you have just bought a vehicle and don't know what it normally does you might be blissfully unaware.

Same engine as you 18-22mpg mixed driving. 16-19 at 70-80mph on motorways depending on a headwind, 15-16 towing the caravan, 13 with only one choke working.

If you were doing less than the poor MPG of these engines, you would not be 'blissfully' unaware. :rofl
