I always thought liter was the American spelling, and we used litre?
I have said it before, but over 350 miles from a 'lude must involve witchcraft.

The correct British spelling of Litre is Litre lol as for Manuel, my bad lol stupid phone and fat fingers 
Anyhow, thanks for all the input guys. It really is helping me in making up my mind. I think I will go for the swop, I love my MR2 but it really is not practical for what I need. At least with the Lude I can still have fun and reliability.
Future aim will be to get the manual and engine conversions done. This shell is from what I can see so far pretty much rust free so it will be a good base for a start.
So considering that it in essence will have cost me £550 (what I paid for my Mr2) I think that not too bad

Ah there is your problem. every 5mph over 55 uses something silly like 10% more fuel on the journey. 70 mph in a lude is not a cruise
its a pocket killer. Try 63 and see much betterer returns. I did in the S when it got too expensive.
Hows this for sick then.... I am getting 400 miles from 60l in the surf and that weighs over 2 ton
ok so its not fast but it is torquey as funk.

Is that true for any engine/gearbox combo, mate? I remember hearing for years that 56mph was the most economical speed, but I've always had my doubts.. mainly due to gearbox ratios etc.lewd lude lover wrote:Ah there is your problem. every 5mph over 55 uses something silly like 10% more fuel on the journey. 70 mph in a lude is not a cruiseits a pocket killer.

drokking hell, I must have a hole in my tank then.. £30 gets me less than 100 miles!Vtecmec wrote:I get +200 miles on £30 all day long in my lude (less than half a tank). I cruise at 60-65.
..although my cruising speed is marginally higher than 60mph. Maybe there is some truth in LLL's 55mph claim!
