Re: ur-q Mileage

	What sort of mileage should I be getting with my '85 ur-q? I typically run 
	600km's on ~75 litres, this seems very poor to me. Most of my driving is 
	stop/start cross town, Monday morning frustrating, oh I love that clutch 
	driving...

	I think I should be getting nearer 700km, possible air leak? I was going to 
	pull the plugs, what are the signs of running rich?


I typically get around 15/16mpg city, winter, cold, three-mile drive
to work, mostly in gears 1/2/3, occasional supralegal 4th gear speeds.
On 20mile mostly-highway commutes, average goes to around 20mpg. On
sustained highway driving, around 24mpg peak (which is a comfortable
500mile hiway cruising range, with a 50mile reserve...).

'83 UrQ, Shell premium.

YMMV...
