I don't think you're correct on US gallons being the standard for MPG over here - the only things I've seen with US MPG readings are US based vehicles. Anyway, from Wikipedia, so it must be true -
6 l/100 km (47 mpg‑imp; 39 mpg‑US) @ constant 120 km/h (75 mph)
So 47 mpg from the MCN review and Wikipedia is imperial (UK), it would be 39 (US). It doesn't help that the US say that their gallons are imperial too Using litres at least guarantees uniform units.
It does seem a little low, to be fair, depending upon the type of riding you are doing and how you ride (just being in the "wrong" gear can have a nasty effect on fuel economy). For example, my Pan 1300 will do between low 30s and low 50s mpg on a longish run, depending upon the roads and how hard I ride it (e.g. tickling along at 50mph on an average speed camera motorway will be at the top of that, A roads ridden with enthusiasm at the bottom). That is a massive difference. When it had a stuck open thermostat it was always at the lower end of that range. |

I was going to blame your Maths for the reason you think its low millage, but them I remembered you have a maths degree from Oxford.
I still cant believe the silliness on here, and having a degree.
Arcane, you really are one of a kind. Please don't change!
