340 running costs
Hi peeps,
Looking for a cheap car to run as well as my 240. What are the 1.4 340's like on fuel? wouldn't mind an auto or a manual. Cheers

oops , they can be very thirsty when the auto isnt working properly , when you get up to 35 mph ease off the throttle and the revs should die away as it goes up into overdrive gear .... if you want any help later let me know . still a great car the 340 though and easy to convert to 5 speed manual ..

From experiance with both 1.7 340's and carbed 360's they are costing me around £10 per 100 miles on LPG. The 240's are about £12 per 100
