Miles per gallon is often brought up in discussions…and surprise surprise that is one of the outputs from my workbook.
The thing is that I don’t give a toss about mpg, but I do like to have an idea how far the bike can travel
My average mpg and miles the mpg is averaged over:
My Current bikes:
B_M_W S1000RS = 39.0 mpg over 656 miles
Yamaha MT-09 = 54.8 mpg over 503 miles
Bikes now moved to other homes:
KTM 990 Adv = 41.9 mpg over 40909 miles, average range =178 miles
B_M_W R1200GSA = 44.8 mpg over 9173 miles, average range = 330 miles
Yamaha FZ1N = 35.6 mpg over 6819 miles, average range = 141 miles
Honda NC700S = 63.0 mpg over 3754 miles, average range = 195 miles
B_M_W R1100GS = 43.8 mpg over 8424 miles, average range = 242 miles
Just before you think I am a sad git (or sadder than your initial thoughts), the initial reason for starting the workbook was to sus out the range of my bikes.
When filling the bike up, I look at the mileage on the “tripâ€, zero the “tripâ€, get a till receipt and write the “trip†miles.
I don’t bother keeping track on long journeys, when paying at the pump or unmanned 24hour stations, so the mpg quoted is probably lower that actual, this also explains the lack of miles recorded on the workbook compared with the actual miles on the clock.
So, what do you ride, and how much does she drink
