Fuel consumption!
« on: 07 May 2013, 04:29:18 pm »
Just done 75 miles riding like a nun, and put just over a gallon in to full her up. Fuelly app showed me 72.9 mpg!!!
It was the most boring 2 days commuting I've ever done!! :-[

Has anyone done any better?  put your best mpg figures down and let's have a look.:D

Exactly the term Bike magazine uses in it's buying guide to describe how they got 70mpg.


Best I've done is mid-60's, but that did include extensive distances blatting down the A50/M1 at rather illegal speeds  :rolleyes

I normally get 50-52mpg when riding 'normally', and only managed 61mpg out of my old '99 plate I had last year. I was shocked to get over 70 :)
