I can't pretend that this about my first drive but it is my first attempt at calculating fuel consumption.
My car is a series III, monocoque, Robin Hood (which can be found in the Garage section of this site ...alanh65).
The car was built in 1987, has been driven 9000 miles since then and has had 4 owners.
It has a 2.1 engine purchased from Maxiflow Poducts (Vulcan Engineering) running on a pair of twin Dellotoes.
Accepting the fact that the fuel gauge, tripometer and speedo may all be inaccurate by now ... I appear to have achieved 15mpg driving round
town. I have not yet had the opportunity to take the car on a long, 5th gear run.
Is this fuel consumption about right, what might I expect on 'cruise' and lastly ....
Is a rolling road 'service' some thing worth investing in?
I live in Sutton Coldfield (Birmingham) and would appreciate a recommendation of a rolling road centre, should the consensus of opinion be that it is worth spending good money on one.
No more questions as yet ...
Thank you all for any time taken both reading an replying to my questions.
