A rough estimate was about 45 mpg. I kept putting 12 litres in every 120 miles. That was holding a constant speed and no stops or messing around in between. Just going to work last week I put 14 liters in to do the same mileage so town/lanes stuff is a bit less.
The two times I had the reserve light pop on I had covered over 135 miles on the tank so I reckon with a light hand you could get 150 before it runs dry :wink:
