I just watched a Youtube Video about the TR2-4 at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dm81nKj2Ii7c&feature=3Drelated

It stated that the gas milage for both TR2-3's were 34 mpg; while it was =
24 mpg for the TR4.  I'm guessing that some of the decrease in mpg were =
due to the change of SU to Stromberg carbuerators.  I'm also guessing =
that 'primitive legaleese' cut back on boasting from 34 mpg to a more =
actual figure of 24 mpg.  Are my guesses pretty true?  Is there =
something I forgot to account for?

I think someone on the list told me they got 36 mpg on their TR3!  I =
forgot who it was, and I will promise to keep it a secret if they tell =
me again.  I think they stated that they didn't want to be continually =
questioned as to their methods or boastings, etc.


Thanks, Paul Dorsey   60 TR3
