Yes, satisfactory numbers.

stock 74 1.8 and I see 26mpg regularly.

got 28mpg (usa imperial measurement) on a trip up country last year when i measured out of curiousity.
70 mph/roof off cruise most of the way with a bit of giving it to it on some curves/hilly minor road stuff at the end.
2 occupants and luggage.

lot less around town.
not too sure but probably 20mpg or thereabouts.

stock 74. correct profile tyres.

My 1970 1.7 routinely got 35 MPG on freeway driving giving 600 mile range on full tank.

I just figure 25mpg and fill up at 250 miles. Running out of fuel on a freeway sucks.
