A Spitfire would cruise at about 5 mpg. That's probably better than you'd
get from a car. Several people have put Merlins into cars over the years. I
believe they'd have been quite pleased to have achieved 5 mpg. 2 - 3 is more
likely.
Cheers,
Owen.

Thanks Jeff, wonderful, I wonder how many miles to the gallon and what a
rebuild costs ?? I´d love to drop one of those into a vintage 8 litre body
then get it clothed in Brooklands body work, what a motor
best

Nice, although I prefer the sound of a Rolls-Royce/Packard Merlin myself.

Now, with the advent of all-electric cars like the Nissan Leaf that
pedestrians can't hear coming, I see an opportunity!
