Gee guys, did one of the worst fuel consumptions since I got the bike, about 13 years ago: 8,4 l/100!! That´s about 33,6 mpg (UK). Bloody hell, city riding, must take care of the throttle

[KiwiCol]

Go everywhere in first gear did ya?

Go everywhere in first gear did ya? 

Guess I did!

I've never worked it out, what are they ment to do mpg wise. My old xjr was around 38 mpg.

[Tally]

I'm pretty sure top whack is about 45mpg , I may be wrong, I may be right.

[Hooli]

I get anywhere from 40-55mpg depending how I ride it. Mid to high 40s seems about normal for most people I know with them.

Usually on my home circuit (around 200km) 6 L/100km = 47.080167 mpg (UK). Guess about 50km in 2nd gear and a 10km "spirited" ride on the Autobahn. No city but a number of villages.

Lowest consumption was a leisurely 400+ km ride where I made it a point to spare fuel.

5.1 L/100km = 55.388431 mpg (UK) to 6.2 L/100km = 45.561452 mpg (UK) (8 seasons)

Last 500km ride was 5.5 L/100km = 51.360182 mpg (UK)

With my 1st 14 (when I was a maniac) I frequently went over 8 L/100km = 35.310125 mpg (UK)

All better than xjr, 6th gear helps 

[Hooli]

My XJR is much worse, but then it's a Jag XJR 

[KiwiCol]

Just had a quick look at my consumption figures, average usage over a 5+ year period is 5.82L/100k (46.39mpg)  sometimes better sometimes worse, guess it depends on how much flex goes into the right wrist at the time.

 

[Eric GSX1400K3]

I'm sitting on around 5.2 to 5.5 l/100km, need to measure again since replacing TPS and STPS, I guess I ride conservatively.

[grog]

Yeah mines always been around that, 400k per tank average.
