All...Thanks for your Solvang MPG info.
I was driving a JDM H20 engine with su carbs on a 411
intake manifold. I travelled with two other roadsters
in a caravan.
At the fill up, we had travelled 149 miles. My car
took 7.6 gallons. Bill's U20 took about 5.7 (?), and
Gene's U20 took less than 5 gallons.
I don't think my carbs are too far off the mark, but
I'm sure there is room for adjustment.
