Well I had my 20b running a few times on the shop floor,
doing testing, the 1st test run it used about 5 litres
and after doing some changes I got it to 3 litres to
get it up to running temp, which = about 15 mins.
so 3 litres x4 to run a hour, and guessing ya might get
60 miles in that hour, I would guess it would be worst than
that at more than idle so 12 litres = almost 3 gallons
and 60 divided by 3 = 20,,, so I would guess worst than
20 mpg (imp gallon)
Ask me if I care

well my 93 fd would get close to 30 mpg and
my 86 gets about 26 mpg
I would assume that 20 to 22 for the 20b would be close,
but all these numbers are for a long trip condition
I am guessing that the, burning around town like a
fool, boosting along at every chance will = about 10mpg
if one is lucky
and no i don't care , feed me power!!!!!!!!
I want to burn up my share of the resources, after all they are
not renewable. lol
Seriously though my daily driver ( car that gets the most miles)
is a v.w. jetta diesel that gets 60 mpg!

Our estimations have it pegged around 12-15mpg for city driving.

reted,,, those are u.s. gallons, here in canada we get to
pay twice as much for gas but we get a bigger gallon, so we can go farther and get more mpg
well until we went to liters that is, now the price at the pump looks like a bargain until you multiply it by 4.54
