Deadly serious....on the motorway, mine would do 45mpg at 70mph, and 50mpg at 60mph. Of course it was a different story in town, and the B14 was much better here, and an overall average of more like 30-35mpg was typical...but with sufficient discipline, my old 360 would pull some very impressive numbers out of the bag. Most cars seem far worse than this...I blame aged carbs!
GLTs, on the other hand, are nothing like as good (economy-wise, anyway). A combination of the short diff and usually knackered LE-Jet means they rarely top 30mpg. One with refurbished LE-Jet can do 35+mpg on the motorway, but that diff really counts against them (and was a stupid idea anyway, in my opinion...barely a performance advantage worth mentioning, and it makes them less refined at speed).
cheers
