Hello
This is always an interesting topic (my BJ8 has DWR road/rallye camshaft,
and is ported and polished and new HD8s). My results are similar to Bob's
although his are slightly better (you can convert his to imperial measure by
multiplying by 1.2 for the comparison).:
pre- engine rebuild highway 26.9 mpg 91
premium 60-65 mph
post engine rebuild highway 26.0 mpg 91
premium 60-65 mph
highway 22.0
mpg 87 regular (10% ethanol) 60-80 (primarily 70+)
city
13.9 mpg 91 or 87 speeds less than 35 mph
Kind regards
