Hi,

>>good level of consumption. So don't worry about your consumption it's
>>just fine.

>I agree, my RD 04 `92 drinks about 6.5 - 7 litres/100 km
My RD07 '94 uses about 5-5,5 l/100 km, after I modified the ventilation of
the carburetors to the RD07a style. Before that I used 6-6,5 l/100km. I did
not change my driving style (which is usually not fuel-saving. ;-))
I can only recommend to change the carburetor ventilation for any @ which
is built before '97. I do not know, if this is also possible for RD04s, but
it's a MUST for RD07s.
