Just under 41 mpg, about the same as mine on a daily basis. The 47 that I posted before was only achieved when on tour riding 300 to 400 mile daily runs, though consumption did increase a lot when riding around the Alps.

I get 45mpg pretty much every day.
I'm 26 stone and quite heavy handed.
My route to work is Wickford to Crawley via Edenbridge.
Route home is M23/M25/A127
Total of 57.4 + 56.9  = 114.3 miles
I fill up every day and she takes 11.5 litres.

I ride 2010 GTR and on a long run can achieve 59 - 60 mpg also have on several occasions got 260 out of tank, have run till flashes but managed 30 miles on reserve, thinking of taking a fuel can with me to see what I can actually get on reserve when starts flashing before runs dry as worth knowing if really pushed.

My last fill up was at 195 miles and she took 20.07 Litres.

Just back from 2000+ mile trip to France.  Computer says average of 56 mpg.  All mileage two up,  many fully laden, mixture of Motorway (75 - 85), A and B roads mainly on ECO setting.  Hit fuel warning once at about 210 miles which needed 19 liters to fill.  Reckoned I could get 240 but wouldn't want to risk it.

I have done 400km on a tank and the warning had just come on.

GTRpilot

There appears to be a big difference in the range on the GTR, or when the low fuel signal starts, 400Km = approx 248 miles and warning light just come on  :shocked:, warning light on at 210, have we all got the same size of tank  :whistling:

I get an average of 45.5 mpg, and that would be predominately riding very progressively on NSL twisty rural roads. Very rarely use Motorways and only occasionally dual carriageways . I think 45.5mpg under those circumstances is excellent for a sporty 1400cc lump  :clap:  :clap:

To get some of these unbelievable tank ranges ,what do people do sit at 56mph for mile after mile after Boring mile , all on Eco mode ,  :censored: :censored: :censored: sod that  :censored:Eco ,, cruise at 85 no less ,you buy a 1400 to use as its meant to be used , half the folk on here would be better off with a Honda dullsville ,  :mfr_lol:  :biker3:

As nightrider says.
I just ride enjoy and fill up the only time I know my MPG is if I glance down to see the current MPG mode  :yes:.
I don't do the type of riding where I need to see every mile I can get at around a Qtr of a tank I just fill up  :clap:

My mileage improved from the mid-40s to the upper 40's after I had the ECU flashed.  Increased power and better gas mileage....what's not to like?

Well with this thread in mind, I tried a reasonably accurate test today
I rode 180 miles of mixed 50%  A and B roads and 50% Motorway. ECO mode turned OFF
Filled bike on centre stand to bottom of filler neck both before and after.
I did 180 miles on 15.5 litres, which makes 255 miles on a 22 litre tankful [ handbook states 22 litres capacity]
My trip meter reading added to my range reading was always about 240 to 250 miles.

Just done 2500 mile in France computer says 50.6mpg average.Two up all the time pretty well loaded.Mainly 90mph on way down and back and a bit more relaxed rural riding when there.A lot better than my old FJR with similar loadings and speeds.
