Re: [T3] mileage from the past

36mpg (UK) is the best I've ever managed on a long cruising journey - certainly
wouldn't call any of it city driving though, or high speed motorway.  Do you
notice any white deposit on the rear bumper after this?  I used to when my CO
was adjusted to 3%, but since have found 3.5% to 4% better, which gives about 34
mpg (UK), with stock twin carbs and about 86,000 miles on original engine.
