My 1970 MGB averages 11,0 km to 1 litre, that is 25,3 miles per US gallon.
(Pretty accurately; I kept track during my first year of ownership)
This is for a European (no air pump or other emission control) model,
two SU's, no overdrive (coming up - OD gearbox still in pieces during a
rebuild),
and then only driven with nice weather and top down,
hence never over 100 to 110 km/h (60 to 65 mph).
That is not because of a speed limit, but because I'm a bit tall
and anything over that speed is guaranteed to let me lose the remainder
of my hair completely...
Happy Motoring
