RE: longest range?(Re: mpg observations(Re: [ST] Mileage))



> I put in 4.29 gallons -> 53mpg

Before I left work for home tonight my trip read 330 km (205 miles) and I
thought "I won't fill up until the light comes on".  I was perhaps 25 km
further up the road and was about to dive off into some twisties for the
last 15 km home and the fuel light still hadn't come on.  So I chickened out
and decided to fill up thinking that the fuel light might not be working.

Thus I filled up at 356.6 km (221.6 miles) and only got 17.8 litres (3.92
imperial gallons) in the tank, giving me 56.5 miles to the imperial gallon.
Clearly I'm riding like a total wuss to be getting this sort of mileage and
I fully intend that the new tank of fuel won't last nearly as long!

However it's good to know that based on the above fuel consumption I can get
around 420 km (260 miles) before the tank runs dry.
