Fuel Consumption

[Shepp]

Just done a trip over the last few days around Scotland on my @, covering 990 miles in 3 days. I travelled over all types of roads and at various speeds and found my average fuel consumption to be 52 mpg! This sounds very good to me, and would give me a range of approx 250 miles on a full tank of fuel.

Does anyone else here get this sort of range, because to be honest l was expecting a lot less mpg.

That's pretty good. I normally run onto reserve around the 210 - 220 mile mark.

thats about the same as mine, i get about 50 m p g fast or slow up hill or down dale<thats the yorkshire ones>so there you go

Thats about spot on. I get that whether I'm having a rirht thrash around, or driving miss daisy...always the same. I fill up, do 200 miles and fill up, that way I never even get to go reserve.

On a long motorway run at 80 - 90+, I get a lot less than that but sticking to sensible speeds I get that or better - even off road I seem to do pretty well but then I'm a gentle soul with the twisty thing on the handlebars

I am in the same boat as Steve C.. solo riding below 70mph (no matter how) I go to 220-230 before refilling and never hit reserve, once i break the 5000rpm mark and hold it at 80+ for long periods I have to fill up at the 200 mark (still not on res though).
Two up no gear is roughly the same.

Two up full gear (touring luggage) I am dry at 190 (this is usually going 80+, for long stretches m roads hours on end). (39 mpg uk..ouch)

This trip to the Orkney'''''''''s I was getting about 11miles to the litre.. so that is roughly 48mpg..(I assume we are talking Uk gallon.) US Gal= 40mpg
