The funny thing is on my commute i always pass an MG Midget going the opposite direction. And i always wish that my car was that small!

Both your posts struck a cord so I had to refer to the archives (that would be yours truly "Hoarding; Buried Alive" mega reference materials here...) Anyway, as part of the original set of Centurion plans, there was also a series of newsletters called "Centurion Newsline".

In Vol.3 starting on page 4, is the headline: "121.3 MPG MG MIDGET". A quote from that article:
-
"Although their target mileage was 100 mpg, the actual mileage turned out to be 121.3 mpg, which was obtained at a steady 50 mph."

So, if it's not been done on ecomodder, maybe an MG Midget needs to be on the bucket list!
