On highway only driving, I will get between 27-29 miles per gallon. Stop and go city driving brings it down to around 20 mpg.

By attempting to convert to the metric system, I think these figures would become 45-48 kilometers per gallon highway, 32 kpg city driving. Whoops, gallons aren't really part of metric system, are they...you will have to handle the conversion to litres yourself.

Sorry if math is screwy/ incomplete, it's early and no coffee yet.

Running with B18, no overdrive, mechanical advance only distributor, no other performance enhancements I can think of on my wagon. Also, I'm currently using a Weber downdraft carb.

Curious, what's the price of fuel is in Finland?
