The early Auto classics had the worst economy, some recording going into single figures!

But the 'Box was bombproof!

If there's one thing RV8's don't like is short trips with cold starts, I've had an bog standard 3.5efi (with a ZF) down to 7mpg under these conditions

In that case i'd let her warm up before a trip

I reckon it goes below 7mpg but the trip computer doesn't go that low in case the driver has some sort of coronary event
