well Guys over the last 4 days ave been out fur a run every day in the excess of 150 tae 250 miles.. an ave been taking note o ma petrol consumption.. depending on how I ride it... well Mondays trip was a mixture of fast an doodlin... an some inbetween... at one point... i had just filled up.. an went 60 miles all jist plodding stuff down thru the Thornhill pass an down to lochinvar.. where i thought,, better fuel up again when i had the chance...... so it took �6.30,,, an i clocked 61 miles.. so it was 1.38 a ltr... jist under a gallon an no more.. so i was doin speeds of between 50/65... i had further to go..another 45 miles.. but this 45 miles was thru the queen eliz forrest new galaway, down near newton stewart... what a road,,i saw ma self getting faster an faster all the time.. i started fur the first mile,, 50mph,, then as trhe twisties go better.. much better it was hell fur leather.. mainly stayin in 3rd or 4th gear fur punch thru some corners...... so they 45 miles a think took their toll on ma gas consumption....then 125 home...but comming home as it was late,, i took a fast A road home..rather than go back thru the forrest wi ma main light on,, never no what is gonna be attracted tae the light,, an down there,, theres Deer everywhere.. so opted fur the fast main rd.... an a wis gunning it all the way.. 75/80... this returned after ma fuel up 10 miles fae home,,, an ma light on ma dash was on fur 17 mile... i worked it out an was getting 42 to the gallon...

so Hashing on 42 ish to the gallon......taking intae consideration the 45 miles o 3rd n 4th gear stuff.an the 80 ish miles home goin fast... I always quick shift...

jist dodlin.. 60 to the gallon.......

i usualy base ma runs on 50 tae the gallon,, as it always takes in a mixture o riding.. ....
