Car - My car ST is currently showing 13.3 this could be a lie as it's off the trip computer but it won't be far out considering my current commute and driving style.

Bike - My FZS which costs fuck all to run.
Note - I do not care about fuel economy If I did I would have bought a soulless guttless 1.0 eco shit box on wheels.
My ST can be quite thirsty but it's by far the best car I have ever owned and it's oozing with character.
Next bike is most likely going to be an FZ1 so another thirsty beast. |

Thirstiest car was probably my Volvo 740 estate. Managed about 22mpg on a run. Bike was probably my GPZ750R/1000RX, mainly because I rode it like a twat. Although the R100RT was probably not far behind. ____________________ Chances are quite high you are not in my Monkeysphere, and I don't care about you. Don't take it personally.

That's shit, you've bought a nail, still, at least it's got pretty lights on the instrument panel..
Thirstiest, an old Fiat motorhome, but even that managed 25mpg. Thirstiest bike, Divvy 600, can't remember the mpg, but it wasn't great ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Denco-tuned Kawasaki 750H2.
It got through the reserve in about 2 miles.
Don't know how much fuel that was, don't care.
Don't know what mpg that works out at, don't care.
I did care when it ran out of fuel and I had to push it to the petrol station. Having filled up, I stopped caring.
I suspect the RG500 was a little thirsty, as it got nothing but caning. I didn't care. If I had cared, I would have bought a different bike.
My 750 turbo was actually very good with 'normal' riding. But if caned, it was thirsty. Given that a turbo is designed to shove fuel in as fast as the bike can cope with, that's not surprising. But I didn't care.
My Fazer 1000 isn't bad if I'm careful.
It guzzles when I cane it. How surprising!
Never worked out what it's actually getting. Guess what? I don't care. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

My old Gen 5 Celica, loved that car, wasn't massively fast, wasn't economical, handled pretty well, but my god did it turn heads
Used to get around 18-22mpg around town/commuting, and around 25mpg on a run
When i bought that it only had 155,000 miles on it, ended up getting rid of it 4 years later with over 175,000 on it......... the only car i regret selling
