I have a replica MGTD with an 1835 and I get about 20mpg. Not very aerodynamic and has dual carbs. I also use 91 octane to prevent pinging. Larry Hill

I have no idea what is in the engine. It idles about 700 rpm...So no wild cam.Not sure what the compression is but is very susceptible to pinging.It runs strong and will easily do 75 on the freeway. I think mainly it is the combination of displacement,dual carbs and aerodynamics. IMHO Larry Hilll

I bet ther aerodynamics play a huge part... so hopefully it won't drop too much below 20mpg...thanks
