Re: [alfa] Typical fuel mileage on Spider 2a

Andy:

Do you still have the SPICA fuel injection? How many Miles on your 
engine? Top up or down? Sounds good for a heavy foot!

We averaged 26 mpg for our 4000 mile round trip to the California 
National Alfa Convention  2 summers ago. Best observed mileage with AC 
off was 32 on a couple of legs. Because of noise we rarely drove more 
than 65 mph. Lots of 55 mph. This was in our fully loaded '92 automatic 
spider. Used to get 32 mpg from my SPICA injected Alfetta GT.
