Found a pretty good site for keeping track of vehicle MPG, and sharing with other users. I'm not bothered about the X's MPG as I don't use her as often as I would like & the throttle is always wide open when I do ride her.

I'm more interested in my car (Civic petrol engine) as I do quite a lot of miles commuting to work and a liter of 95 octane costs 3.65TL (�1.54/€1.72 ) Looking to switch to a new Focus 1.6TDCI....never thought I'd see the day I consider buying a diesel!

It's free to register and has many vehicle types, including the XT660 range. Enjoy

So my 660 can manage 60mpg or more if I am gentle with it, so how come I am paying �66.00 for my road tax, when I can get a car for �35.00 that struggles to do 60 to the gallon, where is the sense in that?.

They have got it all WRONG!

I was just thinking that the other day, and the �35 is going down to �20 after April.

My Xtx does 50-60mpg depending on how I'm riding and the type of riding.
My diesel scenic 1.9 does 45-55mpg depending etc. (very practical & versatile).
The Cooper S Convertible does hmm not so much say Low thirties to about 40 if I'm good. (Not very practical but great fun).

You are really getting 60 mpg with your xt660? I have always though myself to be somewhat of a sissy when it comes to riding motorcycles and I can only manage 50 mpg.

I guess I'll have to try and ride mine super carefully for a while and see how she does.
