For years I've been in the habit of filling up when I've done around 30 miles on reserve. Last year I wondered how much it would take on my FZ1 to run out, and managed 35 miles before I spluttered to a halt.
Now with my commute reduced to a mere 6 miles a day instead of the usual 35 to 40, I'm going for nearly 5 weeks before I fill up. My first fill up since starting the new job with a full tank should have taken place this morning. Instead I got a good dose of exercise after the bike spluttered to a halt half a mile from home, showing just 26 miles on reserve when I had to wheel her home (not nice in this unexpected heat).
So is the current lack of daily mileage and speed mean that the bike's using more petrol per mile?
