ian_s:
25 is possible, BUT bear in mind that these things are DEAD slow.
dont think you'll ever hit 60mph in one, (unless its modified)

rustprooflandyracer:
Can be done, 70mph with a hill advantage, but that is with a recon engine in though. I have never worked ona 2.25 P before or driven one but I think the diesel is a cracking engine, only had to get mine reconed as it has to be probed at MOT time and failed on emissions.

Devon-Rover:
On the run to the LRW show the MPG worked out as

Me: SWB 2.25 petrol. 3MB. Zenith carb, K&N, FWH, OD, 235/70R16 Mud tyres. Average of 22 MPG.

My mate: 2.25 Diesel, 5MB 7.50's x-plies, FWH, OD. Average 35 MPG

My little Bro: 2.25 Petrol. 5MB. Zenith carb. K&N, FWH, OD, 205 road tyres. Average 19MPG.

And i have the heavier one and a roof rack too. as the other two have rag tops. A lot of economy figures have a lot to do with the set up and also how it is driven.

James.Harwood:
Depends on how you drive them, doing 70 mph with canoe on roof i got 18MPG.  Will do less about town or if I push it.

Also depends on how badly your carb leaks!

James.Harwood:
if you are worried by running costs buy a nissan prius!!!!
