Hello folks!

I drove the 145 for the first trip, about 70 miles round trip. Since the gas gauge doesn't work, I am being very conservative, and watching the trip odometer like a hawk. I drove 101 miles and used 6.1 gallons of fuel, so essentially I got about 16.5 mpg, which after my wondrous 122 with the single Weber that gets 34 mpg, this figure is really low. Now, I realize that there is actually no comparison with the 2 vehicles. One is a single carb 1800 engine, and one is Fuel injected 2000cc engine, so it is a question of apples and oranges.

What type of mileage have people averaged with D-Jet injection driving a wagon?

Thanks for your help>
