A belated follow up to David Stepney's travel report. The recent weekend of the Humber Inter-Register Rally I did around 420 miles during which the Ruby consumed, more explicitly leaked, about one and three quarter pints of oil. I have installed an improvised near side rear shock absorber gaiter to prevent it becoming oil soaked and useless. The weekend's fuel consumption once again confirmed how much it can change. Starting and stopping on the event, including some steep hills and getting as fast as I dared as the minutes ticked by, around 36/37 mpg. Gently humming back home down a quiet A49 with no headwind, 45 mpg.
