26mpg on the motorway - is that about right?

at a 110. as in MPH.

The spurious 'a' had (has) me confused.

Fuel economy will depend on what and where you're driving, it won't be much though.

Yep, A Lexus LS400 can do 400 mph.

What about a Morris 1000?

Typo.
They should have been called Morris 68.

I drove a Morris once. My god it was awful. I don't think it would do 68 and changing gear was similar to shaking a stick in a bucket.

Fuel

I manage 32mpg at around 55 to 60mph on a long run in my 3rd Gen at around 2100rpm.
In my Landy 90 about 30 at the same speed - so in a 110 probably a little less. Wind it up to over 2000rpm and watch it drink though!

Any mods needed to run them on biodiesel and any problems experienced from doing so?

No mods needed, just need to change the fuel filters more regularly but I installed an inline filter before the main filter. These are 50p each and can be changed in 1 minute.

I'm running on 80% bio 20% regular diesel. It won't be long before the government hikes the tax up on bio diesel.

Must be why my Morris Marina fell into the sea...

But this has me thinking. Would Princess Di have driven an Austin Princess. if so does her ex husband have a classic Aston Martin tosspot?

I drove my new gen 3, 3.0L TD Surf from (near to) Bournemouth to (near to) Aberdeen. 99% of the journey is motorway and the total distance is round about 600miles. I cruised at 80mph all the way and got 26mpg on the journey. Is that about right? What could I expect round town?

That sounds pretty good Nick, regular trips to the Clog (400 miles) at 65ish mph nearing 30 mpg ....

11+ Years of Surfs ..... n Faultless to a "T" is my Yota !!
