Fuel consumption in Amazons throughout time 120-130

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.

Thank you for your contribution to this thread.

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.

I'm currently using a Weber downdraft carb, not sure how different fuel consumption would be with the original SU's. No overdrive, no other performance enhancements I can think of on my wagon.


I personally use www.onlineconversion.com for my online conversion needs. May not be the easiest to use, may not be the best in many ways, but it has never failed me. It has its own automotive section aswell.

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

There is a Finnish site www.polttoaine.net (direct translation would be www.fuel.net) that monitors the price of fuel at different gas stations in Finland. Cheapest price of 95 Octane fuel seems to be 1.094 euros (1.40961 USD) per litre. I would tell you the price of a gallon, but there seems to be three types of gallons (UK, US dry and US liquid) and I'm not exactly sure which one we are talking about here.
