Ah, I see.
Made up figures then with no facts.

No, not 'made up' figures. Just *my* personal experience in 37
years of driving including road rallying (in the '60s and '70s with
the RAF Motor Sport Association), 7 1/2 ton trucks and small van
deliveries (multi-drop and long distance). When I've worked for
companies with fleets of similar vehicles I was always able to get
better mpg than all the other drivers by using some of the
techniques employed by drivers in the old Mobil Economy Run (does
anyone know if the MER - or its equivalent - still takes place?).

No science then.
Just figures that you think you remember.

What is the fuel consumption of a modern, standard CAR at 20, 30 and
40?

Do you have any idea.

Enlighten me.

That's the whole point! Without actually measuring, nobody seems to have a
clue whether fuel consumption will be more or less in different gears or
revs. The best I can do personally is to apply my scientific knowledge to
the situation, but I don't state things like they are facts when I don't
have any!

Anyone feel like fitting some sort of flow rate thingy to their fuel line?
