[QUOTE="Albie5, post: 581602, member: 21262"] 22mpg sounds about right for 1600 engine. I 've driven all over Europe with about that figure. Going above 65 mpg drastically increases fuel consumption. A weber progressive carb helps on the hills - with stock solex I was down to second gear on steep hills - ( new engine) which again increases consumption. Heat and temperature also a factor - driving in 25+ degrees makes the engine work harder (e.g. in Spain) 8) My bus is stock - I imagine lowered would offer less wind resistance? [/QUOTE]
