    Did you have a vacuum advance operating on your  turbo engine to give you 
such good mileage?
    I have a problem with simply refilling the gas tank  ONE time as a real 
measure of economy.  Depending on how the car is parked  and the angle of the 
gas tank, I suspect that the actual measurement of gallons  consumed is more 
like plus or minus 10+%.  I never calculate my car  mileages based on only ONE 
tank of gas, but rather MANY tanks since I can see  quite a variation from ONE 
tank to the next ONE even for the same driving  conditions.

It is  supposed to be just a fun event. I did slightly over 40 mpg here 
in  Maryland in my 64 Spyder conv. No way could I get that milage driving  
normally. Mr. Bentwrench filled my car at the beginning and end of the  
econorun, and sealed the cap to keep me from adding during the  trip.
