I drove the '68 down to Kerrville, for the Texas Healey Roundup, in 2000. I got
around 33 mpg out of an old, oil burning, never rebuilt 1275. I stopped more to
add oil, than fuel. Oh, and a replaced the "new" Rucas points and condensor
with my old set, on the way home, stuck in Blanco. Standard and Blue Streak are
all I use now.
