> have never heard of an Alpine getting that kind of milage
Alpines with Overdrive and a Weber routinely get 30's MPG at highway speeds.
My stock 2bbl Mk1a Tiger -- according to it's log book - got 32.9 mpg at
odometer 091 miles ranging up to mid 30's over the initial years
with additional entries entries in the teens.
I have only driven the car a half mile or so prior to repairs made necessary
by 28 years of storage, so I have no idea how the
mileage will be now.
