If I fill my bike on the side stand from "reserve" to the brim is about £14, this will give me about 170 miles before I have to switch to reserve again.
Petrol over here is around 94pence a litre.
So I worked it out to
94x5= 1 gallon(imperial) £4.70
£14/£4.70=2.98 gallons (@3gallons)
170miles/3gallons=56mpg
So therefore if I ride like a nun and dont go above 5500rpm I can get 56mpg out of the old girl. (bugger that, wring her neck every once in a while, if you want economy buy a diesel!!!)

Well, I checked my mileage on this last tank and I got 40mpg even.
Better than 35mpg..
I ripped on this tank just a little bit, but mostly took it real easy. Such a huge difference riding style makes.
If I hadn't gone on a ride with some Harley guys, I wouldn't have hit the 40 mark...
(Riding with those guys is great for my gas mileage!!)

Hey:
I can't wait to get back on my bike, soon haha,,,but last time I rode it I got about 35 mpg but the hot summer coupled with keeping on it, going up in the mountains of NC, I don't think helped any either. At sea level, NC beach area I have gotten in the 50's but the speed and rpm were kept down low, 50 mph tops Cops strictly enforce speed there.
