Early Sprite/Midgets are OK. Triumphs can get very good fuel economy- both of mine can get to 30mpg and provide entertainment.

Hey Rick -- have you seen the Goodparts tri-carb intakes for TR6's? I have one (and spare carb) to install... just need to get around to it. The Saab and Mercedes keep me busy enough as it is.
