The 84+ ones with electronic fuel injection (instead of CIS) and taller gearing do better, but still!!

She's driving it like she stole it, and having too much fun.
Spirited driving can knock you down to 8 mpg on the track, 10-12 on the street.
On average if you stay off a highway and fool around a fair amount of the time 18-20 mpg is respectable and fun (with an old air-cooled Porsche).
One of the guys in the Pelican forum rebuilt his engine and can only get 20 mpg hwy. I think he just tightened it up too much, and could improve with age.
