37.4 mpg for my 1.8, not bad for near sea level. One clubber in a 1.6
got 42, but I suspect he'd aired up his tires and other tricky prep
stuff. All I did was bore myself silly.

Now, high elevation is a different story. I got 34-36 in the mountains,
no matter how hard I flogged it (which was hard indeed). Less air = less
fuel...and less power.
