I can drive. I used to squeeze 26mpg out of my old Hymer, while towing 1.4 ton

 

[The Wino]

14.3 or a bit less than you hoped

 

[Jim]

I was told to expect a very good return from this engine. Its famous for two things. Blowing head gaskets and an amazing MPG figure

My first calculation 20.82 miles to the gallon.
Just checking my spreadsheet now it was actually 332 miles and that cost me just 72.5 litres.

 

[Chris]

13.958 approximately
