RE: Miles per gallon

Ha! Ha! Ha! It is amazing what the manufacturers will try to make us
believe isn't it??

Mine seems to average very low 20's or even high teens around town and
mid 20's on a run, provided that I keep below 3500rpm. So one of the
figures below seems to bear some truth..

These testing guys must put blocks of wood under the throttle pedal when
they run these tests.

Still love it to bits though..

	Hi David
	In the early Road Test Articles the fuel consumption graphs are
given. 
	Mk1 Manual                     MPG
	Speed                       Direct     Overdrive
	30                               29.8        36.0
	40                               30.5        34.8
	50                               28.8        33.3
	60                               25.8        29.4

	Autos are the same as Direct
