Gas_Up_Lets_Go is on a distinguished road
I'd trust Osama Bin Laden before I trust my fuel gauge....

I can't agree with the others though, the only time it's right is when the bike is full!

I too have managed 70 miles on the F-Trip, but I use the trip like everyone else. I also fill her up at 150miles, normally get around �15 in the bike, depending on my riding, price of fuel and temp (always get more mpg in the cold).

With a quiet frugel ride (is that how you spell frugle/frugel/fruggle/slow!) I have managed 300 on a full tank, with some fumes to spare, moreover though around 250 is about right.

It's not just the Tenere, my XJR has a crap gauge too.......
