Range figures will now improve as I top up tank as far as possible. Did some very economical b-road riding but city riding dragged it down. Bike comp said 56mpg.

Now decided to brim my tank from now on rather than stopping as soon as pump cuts out. Should be possible to get an extra litre in - hence economy looks lower than it actually was.

I think London riding with the booster plug eats fuel, particularly in low/mid temperatures. After 60miles of london riding it was down to 49mpg. 120miles later on motorways and A roads bike comp said it had gone up to 61mpg.

Back to logging my fuel consumption. Half of this was in near zero degree temperatures in town and the rest was economical b-road riding. Clearly cold, stop start, city riding crucifies it.

Just London driving. Stop, start, traffic etc. I even ran out of fuel on this ride with 7miles showing on my computer! Coasted into petrol station.......very very lucky considering I was in London! I think if one fills up until it cuts out with the fuel nozzle all the way in one loses half a litre of capacity (I got 15.5l instead of the tank capacity of 16l). Bike comp said 55mpg.
