when I drove cross country in my 88 at 65-70 mph on the same sized tires I got a little bit above 21 mpg. As I drove further and faster I dropped down to about 19-20 mpg.
Once I turned the AC on I got 18 to 19 mpg.
This was with my first turbo Raider that had a five speed.
What killed my fuel economy on the last two Raiders was bigger tires and having an auto. Once I figured out that differant alligment specs and a lockup converter were needed its been a lot better.
A stick is hard to beat for fuel economy, yours sounds like its running very well.

I have the 2.6 carburetor engine on a 1989 Raider, right now im getting around 9 MPG in highway and 7 MPG in city, a lot of factors to decrease fuel economy, 33x12.50 Super Swampers, lots of off-road gear and the fuel down here in Mexico it's no so good Ahem, Ahem. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />

Try the fuel in California.... I dont think its any better, or perhaps a bit worse!

I meant that the gas in California is not very good either. I was in Mexico a few weeks ago and my car ran about the same on the gas I got there. It ran noticably better on the gas i got in Canada last summer.

what do you want to bet that either it's NOT cracked or that they did it? Paranoid? Maybe... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />
You were right. Second opinion, no crack. The first guys didnÆt even open the carb up... Second guy found a few things - pipes, tappets, CHOKE STUCK! Will let you know what eventually happens and if it helps my consumption. Obviously it is standard for the first guys to just want to do a Weber conversion without even diagnosing the problem... What rip-offs. Just in case anyone finds this post From South Africa. DonÆt use PINETOWN CARBURETTOR CENTRE they are a bunch of crooks! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />
