According to David Vizard's engine dyno tests, the "A" series engine
develops LESS horsepower with fuel injection, than with SU's.

Well, I guess it's all relative... your perception of "good milage"
could be coloured by whatever else your driving. For instance I think
our '73 "B" gets great milage, because my wife's '79 Dodge 3/4 ton
camper-van conversion gets app. 9-11 mpg around town, and 15-17 mpg on
the hwy... note that's standard gallons, not the smaller american ones.
