Firstly Mr Tweetytek, thanks so much for the 'how to check your mileage 101', I'm sure if I was some pimply youth on my first bike I would find that invaluable, but I'm 51, been riding since I was 16, and know how to check my fuel consumption. I wasn't using the gauge to check, merely saying that I had gas left in the tank so expected quite a few more miles to my tankful.
I have recently become aware of fuelly, but TBH life's too short for that sort of thing, I'd rather be out riding.
Lastly my first tankful was to see how much I could get if I rode like a granny on my commute, I managed 260.3 miles and used 19.17 litres.
You do the math and I don't care if you don't believe people get that kind of mileage. The second tankful will be to see how drastically it changes if I ride like a hooly, and I must say I'm enjoying it a lot more!
What happened to the other 3 litres?
