It wasn't that much worse on fuel either...
I could get 29mpg out of mine - if I cruised to work at 44mph - a speed arrived at over a 6 week period when mortgage rates were at their peak of around 16%.
I could also get 18mpg with 2 horses in a large Rice trailer on a deafening trip down the M1 - which has more hills than you realise when you are trying to get 60bhp (optimistic) to tow 3T.
