Subject: Yet another mileage report: Morgan Plus 8 and Honda Express


My Plus 8 gets about 25mpg (3.5litre engine) but will soon get 0mpg
since it feeds on leaded 100-octane gas (10:1 compression ratio).
The 25mpg is in mostly suburban and road driving and little moderaton
is used at red lights, where the 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds or so really
pays off).

My Honda Express never got more than 70mpg which really made me mad.
Sure needs streamlining and some wind-tunnel tests.

Anybody know where I can get high-test leaded gas?  Octane boosters
are OK but what am I going to do about the lead, and my valves?
