So im not doing to bad really then might be able to get it up to mid/late thirties if i can slow down a bit on the motorway!

30-35 out of a JX 1.6 TD - depends how fast you go, and how hilly/windy it is...

20-25 mpg 2.0ltr Aircooled Devon Moonraker,still running with the twin solex carb's, does the twin choke webber conversion fair any better,as i have been looking at changing the solex carb's

Around 27-28 mpg in a 1.9dg with a single solex instead of a pierburg at 55mph (occaisonally 29mpg if everything is in my favour).

Am hoping to get her gassed which, fingers crossed, should give around 45(ish) mpg.

Consistant 17mpg from my lump on urban cycles running on LPG

Whats the fuel tank capacity in gallons ?

for those with fuel injection, a drop of fuel injector cleaner can help.

32 - 33 general mix of driving. High top with 1.9.AAZ. Motorway use 60 -65 mph, otherwise Cornish lanes. Load doesn't seem to make much difference - but 70 mph does!

31 MPG overall. Pop top with AEF engine and original ABF gearbox. That's Devon lanes, motorway at 60mph, elsewhere driven hard, with no effort at economy. DH gearbox to come, the difference will be interesting.

Well just come back from the inaugural 1600mile run round scotland with a serviced 35K 1.6n/a in the hi top and its worked out at 35 near as dam it having rechecked me notes.
mike ( not fast but utterly reliable and thats what matters)

Hello

I'm running a stock 90bhp 1.9tdi on a 3H gearbox with 225/55/18 tyres, a big high-top, and at 64 on the cruise control (3100 revs) I get about 32 mpg. I reckon getting that at 75/80 is really good! If I did 75/80 I reckon I'd be getting around 24, but then I'd probably have to buy a new engine if I do the London Edinburgh run! I'm looking into getting a 0.7 fifth gear from Aidan who's been really helpful, which should give me something comparable, but am worried my engine won't be strong enough to pull it up hills at certain speeds. Thanks for starting this post - very interesting

Petrol - getting around 20/21 mpg loaded, although on our recent trip to Europe probably around 12/15 up and down the windy steep hills!!!! lol!!!!!!

Same as my 1.6TD, only really use it for local trips though, possibly do more on a good run, performance seems really good, easly tackles hills

mines fuel injection.but i cant for the life of me.work out how to get the cleaner into my lpg tank oh and mine does about 15mpg on lpg so thats about 30mpg taking the price of lpg into account...
