20 UK MPG (14 l/100) by some drivers

It's unclear if you are referring to US or UK MPG

I think it's safe to assume it is UK MPG.

However, Oxley is talking about the 360 engine, not the 400, which of course has a greater swept volume, and is an earlier generation of engine.
Can't imagine a 400 ever getting anywhere near 20mpg ...
