Huh? Have you ever owned or driven an Austin 7 from the 30s? I have.
And they're not that economical even considering the pathetic
performance.

I remember being astonished how economical they were by the standards
of other small cars of the 1950s and 1960s.

Nothing like as good as say a Morris Minor driven at similar speeds.

I can't find any figures now though.

The cruising speed of an Austin 7 was about 40 mph. Fully laden, there are
plenty of main road hills it wouldn't climb.
