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.
