During the fuel blockade I was driving an MGC GT. 3 litre engine, balanced high lift cam, balanced lightened fly wheel etc, in those days my attitude to (high fuel consumption was stick another carb on it), she sounder great BUT I was lucky to get 12 MPG. However, coasting, changing up earlier and doing a lot of praying I managed to get a tank of fuel to last until supplies got through. I got my MPG up to nearly 25!!!!

I think it is illegal to coast Zeb, however one could always state that it was being done for the good of the environment!
