I'm reading a few performance road tests of the T/R 3 as written by "Autocar",
it says, driving hard 28 MPG, attainable 35/37, and lastly it says a
"unmodified" but using special driving techques it attained 71.02 MPG, I have
no idea what special driving techniques means, the very best MPG I have ever
been able to attain is 31.6 and I did that only once, most of the time I'm in
the 26/27 MPG class, anyone care to share what they get and how they do it is
appreciated, especially with petrol approaching $2.00 here on the east coast,
I have standard H-6 carbs using RM needles with O/D, I buy 89 octane and very
seldom get into it from the standing start, I do cruise in the over 70 MPH.
