Just another freakin new member saying hi

Just say hi to everyone. Seems to be lots of good info on here.

I'm self employed and work out of my 4 cylinder van, so with rising fuel costs I need to stretch my fuel economy because this hurts my profit margin

I've found if you have the patience to keep it under 65 it sure helps fuel economy (especially with a van)

So far I've done 27 mpg, and that was running the air conditioner. Like to
see 30 if possible.

When I'm not on the job I drive a 82 Peugeot 505 Turbodiesel for kid hauler that has seen 37 mpg

Also have a collection of British oddball projects and would like to drop in a B series 1.8 BMC diesel (as found in Leyland Shepas) in my project Marina, but there's none of those engines over here
