Yes, for a '69 1600TLE with 5,500 miles at a temp of 72F the report gave the following mileages:- mph > mpg (US galls) 55 > 30.4 60 > 29.6 (Jim > 28.9 mpg) 65 > 26.4 (Jim > 26.7 mpg) 70 > 24.8 75 > 21.6 80 > 17.6 Looks like your mpg was pretty similar, Jim. I get about 27 mpg(US) on long journeys with my twin-carb Variant at around 60 to 70 mph, which looks pretty similar too. Salutary lesson for us - looks like it costs Toby almost twice as much for his miles as for the slowest here (ignoring the UK taxation laws!). ;-) I guess we're all proud of our old cars and tend to drive them as fast as we would a newer one. I think you've got a copy of that report, Jim. Dave.
