I've been getting  48-55 mpg  ever since break-in (over 55,000 miles ago) 
This is one reason I hesitate to jump on a new Tiger.  Damn, my VW 
diesel gets better mileage than what I've been reading on the tests on 
the 1050 engines.  But then most of the magazine testers ride em like 
they stole em.... 

Waiting to hear back from a few folks that just bought a new Tiger to 
see what us normal people get for fuel mileage.
