About 30mpg (varies in the range of 27.5-32.5).
1st few miles in a city, pretty steady moving tho, 10 miles or so overall.
Could probably make 35mpg if I wasn't such a hooligan on the sub B road section.

Ok, re: my previous post, Pinarello aside I usually get about 38-41mpg from the Vec 3.0.
The RSV?. No idea. 20 litre tank and if I'm ragging the thing the low fuel light pops on at about 110 miles on the tripmeter which is pretty normal for these bikes. Large capacity V-Twins like drinking fuel which isn't an issue, the noise and power more than compensates for it.
Short shifting and generally flouncing around on it will yield @55-60mpg though.

The RX-8 doesn't do too badly looking at others on here. I get 16-17MPG on a 20 mile daily commute in London.
Vespa ET2 hairdryer. I did it only once in the Z4M and got 17mpg.

Mine is only so low because I was in BANZAI! mode all last week. I would not be impressed with 17MPG on a motorway haul!
Out of interest, what kind of roads NightShadow?
All 30mph limits, light traffic in the morning and heavy traffic in the evening. On an entirely motorway/A road run I could probably squeeze 24-25MPG out of it!
I tend to not worry about petrol and just fill up when it needs it, ignorance is bliss!![[FnG]magnolia](/styles/overclockers/avatars/9.png){kind=avatar}

12.4 litres/100km so about 22.5 mpg. Auto box, short journey, stop/start traffic = fail.

Anything between 15-23mpg - just depends on my driving. It's usually lower on the way home as there's more traffic.
Loads of speed bumps so have to slow right down as I can't straddle as I scrape the bottom! Although in the morning it's any time between 630-650am so the traffic isn't too bad.

I dont think I have ever read a post about your driving that doesnt fill me with dread.
14mpg on an empty road in a 4 cylinder NASP Volvo?
Why not call the hospital and make reservations, dont you only have like 3 months experience?
