Re: fuel consumption idleing?
Hi Frank,
FWIW:
In my humble opinion, your very simple, honest & straightforward question was no different than so many simple, basic questions ever asked on "any" vehicle Forum; like maybe:
1. Have coolant on floor, so where is my coolant leak? Why does my front tire leak?
2. Have oil on floor, so where is my oil leak? Gas, so where is my gas leak?
3. Why my car won't start? How many mpg should I expect with W18 plugs?
The "exact", correct answers, even though most embarrassing to the "Model A Know-It-Alls" are: Nobody on "any" Forum really knows the "exact", specific answers to such "general" questions.
So, in some cases, some reply with wild guesses; 79.46% ask you to check your condenser, (even if the problem is that the front tire is low); in good faith, some ask a few questions for more details; & some may try to make a joke out of the question; but such is life.
Again, in my opinion, your reply #32 should be a reminder for "all" of us that we "may" have accountants, lawyers, doctors, etc., who just obtained a vintage car.
Then this person, (very much "uninformed" about vintage vehicles, but skilled in another area), just asked a simple question.
If you re-review your above replies, it appears many were really trying to help.
We all have seen replies like your reply #32. It should be respected, & it hits home for those who care.
I like your car, & I think if you have any questions, you should just jump back in
& tell somebody else to check his coil when his transmission is leaking. Such is life.
