Hi CR, thanks for the welcome. It's a six speed manual in the C5 with a nice tall ratio in top (63mph = 2000rpm). I love the engine in the Rocket and would like to put one in an old BL mini just for fun, I did get 47MPG (imp) on a 700 mile trip to Scotland once at reasonably high speeds but it takes a long time to fully warm up so my usual MPG when commuting 15.5 miles to work is just 37MPG.
