Can anyone say what they are getting from a full tank mileage wise, steady riding, motorway or touring style, on ECO mode?  :popcorn:

Depending on my riding style, I get around 200+ on a tank.  Lately I've been averaging about 48mpg and that's with a mix of 60mph to 80mph.  I had a reflash done to my ECU and it helped a lot.

Just remember that Jim's gallons aren't "proper" gallons.  The US ones are 16lbs whereas ours are 20lbs.

I have twice managed to get past 200 miles on a tankful, but mostly motorway miles.  Last weekends run to The Lakes and back was 725 miles and averaged 57.6mpg.  Was showing 60+ on the way north, but a stiff headwind pulled that back on the return leg

I managed an average of 59.4mpg yesterday on mostly A roads. Dead chuffed but admit I was riding very conservatively ((first time with SWMBO on the back ))
Seems to be very capable of 200miles or more on a tank

Over the last few years I've been over to Ireland a handful of times which is a mix of motorways, A roads and some country lanes.  Its been over 200 miles to a tank but thats a fully brimmed one done on the main stand

Well happy with that for what it does and how it does it, regularly 200 from a tank, best was 240!   :grin:

How full your tank is makes a huge difference. If you haven't already discovered, once your tank is full, you can trickle a good few litres extra in. As long as it's slow, the fuel goes in but the level doesn't rise.

The problem is you only know it's properly full when it spills over. I keep meaning to measure how much extra goes in but never get round to it; has anyone done it?

To get 250 m out of a tank how far are you in to the fuel gauge , I would need at least 30 m left to Feel ok about it or running out is a possibility , I usually fill up at 150 ,

The gauge tells me it's doing 40+ To the gallon and I fill up when the dash flashes to tell me low end of  :mfr_lol:

I always keep mine topped up asap after the low fuel warning comes on (if I let it get that far). That's usually around the 200 mile mark.

I haven't reset the fuel computer and over two years the avg has sat at 53.5 mpg (real gallons  :wink: ) pretty constantly. I spend nearly all my time on B roads and some of the smaller A roads.

And the 2012 on the first link is Marmite ( my old one )

So you grannies better not ride with me !!  :mfr_lol:

Just kidding, that was a lot of fully loaded fast riding on Tolls for half of it.........

Mine quite often said 50 +, but never got anywhere near that in reality

O.C.

I fill up, reset Trip A and motor off into the sunset, I'm usually due for a top up at about 180+, I ran my 2008 GTR to 235 miles in France way back when, it was very low and just a little concerning  :mfr_lol:

Are those real miles or the Queen's miles?
