I get about 20 rolling around town and 28-30 on the mway. I am sure it will do a bit better if I was hyper miling blah blah but thats like 80-90 ish not paying attention.

that's a well sorted chariot Wilson

My mate has a 328 coupe auto and it will see very high 30's if you keep it below 80 on a run. They defo need the M50 inlet manifold conversion doing though as they are quite breathless at high revs
