darn this question.
I can't even measure fuel mileage.. unless I underestimate, and that is still ok I guess.

if my voltage regulator for the alternator allowed 250 rpm I would let the old sube go there. Very content. I have bogged it to 50rpm waiting for a kick in return...I can only guess they keep it like other cars to be sounding normal, like 500-750, and make the alternator function correctly. Else, I could really set it down..

The consumption is indeed low, I camped all night in one at 0F, (needed idle for heat).. hardly an 8th guage down for 8-10 hours.

1781cc, progressive 2 barrel, 3 main boxer.
