Hiya. All this sounds promising for my imminent arrival of new GTR. I'll post some figures after I've run it in and start commuting properly (give me a couple of weeks). I do over 100 miles a day on motorway, so 90%+ of each tank will be cruising with ECO mode enabled I expect.

Currently I'm at 220 miles on the tank of fuel and the Low Fuel light just started flashing 1/2 mile from home. That's not too bad going.

This is exactly what I'm hoping for. My commute is around 110-115 miles, so two days of fuel is what I'm after. What sort of speeds do you do for your 220 miles? Much motorway?

That mileage was a combination of  restricted roads, i.e. 30mph, national speed limits, then 35+ miles up the M6 & then the same again in reverse. This followed by a 25 mile round trip from home to work and back home again  today doing 30 & 40 in stop start conditions. My GTR is an 07 plate so it probably wont even be as economical as yours.

Its nice to get decent mileage but it isnt the end of the world. I ride to enjoy the experience, everything else is a plus. 8)
