I divide by .22, one less digit to press into the calculator - efficiency all the way

I have a program on the lap top that works out the fuel consumption in miles per litre, cost ETC.
I added a couple of fields to covert to MPG and to give the Approx tank range.

Just thought I would share a bit of info with you all.
I have a Transalp 650 year 2000 model and am now getting increased mileage (reduced fuel consumption) after doing the following.

• Installing a K & N air filter (better breathing and more guts at higher revs).
• Changing the front sprocket to 16 teeth .

I now average 60mpg (was 55mpg). These are fairly accurate figures, measured after filling the tank many times. My GPS also coresponds with the bike odometer within 1%.
The higher gearing also makes for more relaxed cruising on faster roads.

Might have to try this. My average is 50/51 MPG and I don't think I ride that hard. MPG is my only problem with the bike really. Apart from that

I am noticing that we still check the Economy in terms of M.P.G.
It should be easier to work it out as M.P.L. As we buy fuel in litres and do x amount of miles for every one we fill up with.

You are right but us elders can relate to the real money of gallons and pounds per square foot. fat-mal
PS Just cant get my head round popping out for a swift 568 ml.

Mind you if I hang on I might be able to buy a new 1970 triumph bonnie again for £426 5s 3d

I might try the mods aswell. I usually get 46-48mpg, though I do ride with spirit. I notice that as soon as I top 80mph it seems to drink fuel like mad and drops as low as 40mpg.
Perhaps I'll start with the filtre and see if that makes a difference before putting another cog on!
