Now for the sad news, our actual mileage was 64.177 mpg I forwarded the correction to Bob. the confusion in the paperwork was due to being reclassified from production mod to exhibition. 99.6...I wish. Now as soon as I get the desire for an OD out of my system I can concentrate on aero modes and the Veggie oil conversion.

rustygirl,
I made the mpg correction on the spreadsheet referenced a few posts back - thanks for that update! The MG is most impressive on the track and 64+mpg is nothing to sneeze at. You've done an excellent Kubota transplant and transmission mating. I hope you will keep the forum updated from time-to-time should you change anything. You're a wealth of information as I found out at the event and thanks for sharing that spreadsheet of the Kubota cars and their final drives - excellent! Two:
