The wizards will be able to help more, but I can take a whack at the first one. If your car has a carburetor, it's burning fuel no matter what the throttle position.

I had some Minis a long time ago; a '65 850 Countryman, '65 (I think) 998 Cooper, and a '67 850 that had an Austin America 1275 stuffed under the hood. The roads here are made for behemoths, so you could actually drift a Mini around a turn without crossing the center line! I had a ton of fun with those cars.
