My old Seven with it's Ford/Cosworth engine (fiddled with Kent motor;-)
got Phenomenal fuel mileages.
Despite its 45DCOE's being wide open most of the time.
Sub 1000lb vehicle weight gives massive advantages, from fuel burn to handling/agility. Don't load it up with a Ferry Anchor motor in some missguided effort to save a few cents on fuel burn
Buy/fit a Hayabusa (4$k approx from a wrecker) Less than 100 Kg ..complete.. and 194 hp, mit a sequential 6 spd :-).
Typically Sub 4 sec 0-60s in a Caterham.
