i have the same engine but on injection and i'm currently getting less lol. I'm guessing 24's good for a carb.

Is that around town? Hope so! My GLS does 28-34mpg on a long run at 50-60ish. (lower figures for mixed roads, best figure on the motorway). Not checked round town/cold engine driving figure as I don't tend to use it for short trips, but I'd think it would do maybe as low as 25 with lots of stop start or heavy acceleration/braking type driving.

That's about what the B19 used to give me in my 360 GLS round the doors.

I've never ever bettered 35 mpg (imperial) with my 360. Average is about 28 mpg, around town in winter on short stop/start journeys it can go down to about 15 mpg :?
