Gang,

Ok. To make it a little easier for all of you.  Assume 1 gallon = 4.54609 
Litres and 1 Mile = 1.609334 kilometres

Miles Per Gallon	Kilometres Per Litre	Miles Per Litre

I knew my Excel Spreadsheet capabilities would come in handy one day.  I think 
I've got the calculations correct.  But that's what Excel is telling me based 
on the MPG figure.  Hope this helps with the comparison.

Wasn't the earlier single carburettor model able to get 45MPG?  I think Dad 
told me he used to get 45MPG on his single Carb, 1500 Squareback.
