Fuel economy

Hi Folks...

My bike has been stored for over a year but has been thoroughly serviced and I am now running it to commute with. It's got TKC80's on (I used to work for Conti) and I am doing mostly motorway miles, I am getting approx 47.5 mpg. It just seemed to empty the tank quickly, quicker than I imagined.

What's everyone else getting?

It's not even done a full week since coming out of storage and the service so I am thinking it's going to need a bit of running until it's all cleaned out and running smoothly again so I am not too concerned, but I can certainly remember it doing 150 to half a tank rather than 143 to just two small bars left on the indicator.
