22mpg? This sure seems low. I've had V8 Chevy's get 20mpg. I would think
28-30 mpg would be the norm. Maybe your tires are taller than normal and
the Speedo is going slow. Mine are low profile so my Speedo is about
5mph fast.


Hi all,

On the subject of mileage; any ideas what I could expect from a dual carb 1600 with automatic? I suspect this should be the least economical Type 3 in existence.

I have done some very rough calcuations, but I'm not sure what's considered good (or even reasonable) for a car like mine.
