My TR4 gets 18 - 22 MPG in daily driving, but it has the optional 4.1:1
rear axle instead of the standard 3.7:1 so I would expect it to get lower
than normal gas mileage around town. I might do better if I was a bit
less lead-footed. On long highway trips with overdrive engaged it does a
bit better.
I don't know what gas mileage a TR6 should get. It probably gets
progressively worse from early TR6 to late TR6 because of increasingly
restrictive anti-smog equipment.
