I am switching my Rover Car over from carbs to Throttle Bodies this year to mainly get my car on the pace for "B" and so I am able to hang onto Graham's shirt sleeves. Part of my preparation will be fuel runs. What do the knowledgeable people think the consumption differences will be?

Hi Perry.

Having done this swap last year I've found mine is actually more economical, albeit only slightly! Only reason I put a bigger tank in mine was for 40/45 min races in Bernie V8s!
