MPG

[jivebiker]

I dont know why, but my local Shell station is consistently the cheapest in my area (except for Tesco).

65mpg, ok, that was sat behind a line of Land Rovers doing 50mph-60mph across France to the Alps typically I get 45mpg, 120 to the light isn't a full tank and the quantity put in equates to 45mpg~ when ever I do the calcs

65 MPG WOW!!!. I think my riding technique needs a bit of polishing. I have never owned a boxer before so maybe I'll get better returns later in the season.
Looking at the replies 36 mpg kicking around with speeds varying from 40-110 in a short distance isn't too bad.

Next tank full has to be Shell Optimax or Vpower what ever it is!!
Cheers, Cobbster.

On any open roads at legal(ish) speeds:

10 miles per litre. (wot's that - 44.5mpg? )

180 tank range - start looking at 150.

Hi, just done 96 miles to the warning light on my 1200s.Works out about 39mpg.That was on V-power.Its probably all in the mind but it seems to go better using this instead of ordinary unleaded.

It will do, the 1200S is designed to run on 98 Octane fuel. Normal unleaded is only 95.

Hi,
I added a gallon of fuel to my bike from the light and took it for a spin this afternoon. In heavy head winds and speeds varying from 60-80 I had a return of 44 miles to the reserve light. Not bad, must be getting used to it now.

Cheers Cobbster.

I used to get about 130 untill the light came on, but then I started using this additive which I got from Tim Rose.(E=MC Endurance shocks) It's called PD5 and it's made by Pendragon Holdings. It has a noticeable effect on acceleration and smoothness and increases the range to 139 to 147 on a normal run or over 150 on a tour. This stuff is worth checking out on the internet. It is also so clean you can drink it! This is not a joke.

Ususlly beating around in traffic my light comes on at about 130-135.

On a trip to Colorado 2 up in the mountains (at altitude) I had it come on at about 180 and went 208 before pulling in for fuel.

I've been using my 1200S for commuting this week. 25 Miles each way on a single-carraigeway road which is a mix of fastish sections, bendy bits, and about 4 miles of walking-pace filtering through Kincardine, across the bridge and through the road works.

I filled up last night and was surprised to only get about 13.5 litres in with 150 miles on the trip. This is significantly better (about 10%) than I was getting on the 1100S. Mind you I do put that expensive 97RON stuff in the 12S and the 11S has to make do with regular.
