Petrol is 108.9 in my area. No problem for me even though I get only 45mpg. But anything near 120 for petrol will make me walk reather than ride anywhere within 2 mile radius from my home  |

My Mother used to have a Mitsubishi Evo 8, that did about 15mpg at ~85mph on the motorway, 8mpg or so at full whack, awful.
Fuel does seem to be slowly creeping up again, it makes a huge difference to my Dad's business who buys around 400-800 litres of diesel every day or so. . ____________________ "Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul."

I'm still loving 100MPG. I've been in the red for the past 2 weeks including riding around in the snow and I'm still not empty or on my reserve yet. Truth is I can't afford petrol anyway, although I think I found a couple pound coins around here somewhere the other day.... that's at least another 40 miles  ____________________ will never give up his CG. I look at my fuel gauge more as a progress bar than a fuel gauge.
G: With my GSXR I do often effectively use it as a scooter with a clutch in town.
ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston? |

Only problem with carting 40L of fuel is a) the weight and b) the risk of a big old fire
I usually fill the tank once I get around 120 up on the trip meter. So I'm doing 120 miles to 6-6.50 of fuel, which isn't at all bad for a stroker.
Three days to get to Madrid is pretty good, all things considered. I've been thinking of going to the south of France in the summer on the RXS. All the posers in their Ferraris and Lamborghinis and me on the old fossil  |
