MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - MPG from a Rover 4.0 V8


All,

As some of you may know the Silver Lady did not quite make it to MG2007. First a broken gearbox and then a slave cylinder got in our way so we adjusted our agenda and still had a great time. During the trip I kept mpg figures, these with other details are below. I hope that the figures will help some of you to squeeze that little extra from each gallon.

4.0ltr Rover. V8 9.45 CR
Carter Performance 500cfm. (Edelbrock #1404)
Jet .086,
Rods 73/60.
5 speed LT77,
3.09 MGC rear end,
15 “ wheels with 195/65 tires
Crane 3000 Fireball ignition.
Bosch Platinum Plus 4 spark plugs.

Mileage covered 4560
29.06 Miles per gallon average

Regards

Mike

That's 35 mpg for us in the UK who have bigger gallons. I'd say that was excellent. Well done.
