Well, I say, "What's the point?" For most of us these cars are toys that are
driven occasionally as opposed to daily drivers. In my youth I drove my first
TR6 600 miles in a day in 95 degree head. At age 52 I'd never even contemplate
such a feat. (Yes, I'm whimpy old white guy!) For me, my car is for enjoyment
and tinkering to see how much more zip I can get out of it. Fuel economy is not
part of that equation.
No disrespect meant. Just responding to your query, bro'!

List
A few of at our bi-weekly breakfast today were talking of gas economy
for the stock TR6.
Is there any advantage, from an economy stand point, to
use the 1.5 carbs from the GT 6 on a 3 carb manifold?
Having the runners
straighter and putting less and more precise amounts of fuel into each
cylinder should help economy on a stock engine.
What say you all?
