'5' go off to Devon

[Tazio]

On long trips I used to get around 28 or 30 from my straight six 260E if I was light footed.

So I can confidently say you're doomed to around 20mpg if you dare to go quickly on any bits of the drive.

This thing is riding way too high, wants a good 2 inches dropped with those wheels on

As for a guess, I reckon 19mpg.

When he bought it, the rear offside had collapsed, hence the jaunty angle... fixed it with new shocks and springs all round before it went on the road I think

Sadly, it got traded in for Vauxhall Meriva... I know :twisted:
He is still paying back his surrendered mancards 2 years later, and still has 3 years to go :roll:

The power of woman :roll:

LGF, yours is lovely by the way

231 miles, 28.03 miles to the gallon.

Not bad for a 25 year old car. Fuel light came on at Collumpton which gives me two gallons of panicking time.

Am in Broadclyst on me Raleigh Record Ace till Sunday...
