    Just done a 2400 mile trip through the Alps and down to Spain and back through the Pyrenees in the car at around 23mpg, just under 500 litres went in, so no matter what the Blade does it cheap in comparison

    108.4 miles average until the light comes on in the last 1080 miles and 10 fill ups on my 09. The economy on the 12-15 bikes seems amazing.

    Funny you should say that, I was pushing mine when it read 2.7, as there was no fuel left in it to propel itself.

    Interesting. Should maybe keep it under 2.5 then.
    Made a difference knowing the old man was less than 10 miles away and could rescue me if necessary!!

    Think I've had almost 180 from a tank - 55mpg in the Alps over the passes and being given the beans at times.
    No PC5 helps - bet those with a 'Map' will use a fair whack more juice (I know mind did till I removed it)

    My 09 just got 122.5 miles from full to the light. Average 37.9mpg on one tank that's with the Bazzaz and YOSHI removed back to standard.
