10 mpg???You will get thru 3 to 4 gallons a week then , they are very reliable if looked after , and quite reliable even if they are not !
50% economy can usually be gained by adjusting the attitude of the nut behind the wheel!Mine used to do 14 on a good run

The choke should be pushed in as soon as possible, as it's primary function is to assist the engine with starting!If its doing 30 to 40 mile a week its probably going to be on choke half the time, I used to average about 17 to 20 on a run when the damn things were new ! , the best mod I did was fit an SU carb . It would benefit from a CR increase as well with modern ULP . esp if you are going to fit hardened valve seats. JMHo

If you keep it out, once the engine is under load all you are doing is pouring fuel, and money, away!!
I think I'll start driving courses as well!!
They warm up faster without the choke!
