Wrong question for me. My over-steroided B requires 100 octane at $5.50 per
US Gal & drinks it like crazy. Last I checked I got c. 17 around town & 28
highway in o.d. Worse & better than my BMW SUV tow truck. That gets 19
around town. But, it can't break 26 on the highway. An SUV is like pushing a
sheet of plywood through the air while held perpendicular to the direction of
travel.
Back when I bought my first MGB in 1965, I got close to 30 on the highway
without o.d. But, that's when regular was 29 cents a gallon.
