I get around 315klm spiritedly or 330klm sedately from 20ltr in the 1275. What ever you drive, petrol prices are a kick in the muff!!

I think mine is pretty good - but I don't drive for economy.

The last highway trip I did in it I got 63MPG, usually around town I get about 7L/100.

In my warm 1152 with twin 1-1/4"s and 123 ignition, I get 6-point-something L/100km on the highway, and 7-point-something around town. Not bad for a nearly 40yo car 8)
