Thank you everyone. My 29 mpg is ok then, but I totally agree with Neilda, 'who cares'? I just fill it up with super unleaded, and get about 200 miles of FUN. Since buying it from Tim Ayers 8 weeks ago, I've done 900 miles. I have no idea how to put the hood on, so as a weight saving measure, I immediately put it, and side screens in the house. At least they have been nice and warm ! Mind you, I find my motorcycling gear and helmet come in handy, especially when it's raining. Just hope the Waxoyl keeps the salt at bay.
