50 mpg is easily attainable on a gen 1 1000, which given the performance available is pretty bloody good if you ask me and it is even if you dont (ask me that is!!) so 200 a tank is poss, but take it from one who knows don't leave it too late in France as esp on Sundays you may not find a petrol station open and those on autoroutes are now stocking E10 95 petrol so you will be forced to use 98. If you can find a LeClerc they tend to still have normal 95 unleaded as do Geants these 2 can be found near autoroutes but never on them. If you know roughly where you are going to go you can plan your route, also be aware sometimes UK cards will not work bu tthis is rare so always have some cash, though forget that on a Sunday!!
