Just got my Tenere, 1,600 miles and everytime I've filled it up its been over 200 miles except for once, averaging 45.3 mpg USA.

Imperial versus US MPG? That could explain the difference.gazxt1200z said:Hi,
I cannot believe what poor mpg you guys are getting over there in the US.I regularly cruise at 80-85mph and get between 52-58mpg and if you sit at 75mph it goes over 60mpg up tp 63 AND NEVER below 52 no matter how fast you are going.
I don't think s10 has that setting... I would say gasoline quality. Maybe Europeans don't have mandatory ethanol content. In US it's 10%SuperCruise said:Imperial versus US MPG? That could explain the difference.
Its 5% here, but there is a big discussion now its become obvious the Ethanol is just a new way for Oilrefiners to make more money, at the cost of Nature :-(MikeBear said:I don't think s10 has that setting...

The S10 doesn't have that setting. But the MPG type it shows is region specific ie. US MPG in USA and Imperial elsewhere. A gallon is bigger in the UK, hence why the MPG figures look more impressive but actually aren't!MikeBear said:I don't think s10 has that setting... I would say gasoline quality.

So true. Even just amongst myself, I hit blinking-E around 130mi of local commuting, beyond 180mi on a mellow cruise through Yosemite, and beyond 200mi going 60mph with a tailwind. And through irresponsible use of the throttle, I end up getting 4000mi on a tire that should get 7000mi.viewdvb said:All this thread proves is that there is a vast diiference in various riders' riding styles and, just because Tom always gets 59 mpg doesn't mean that Dick or Harry will ever get those figures. Often it is the contrast of enjoying a spirited riding style against long journies on major highways. I have seen similar threads on other forums for bikes I have owned. I have always found some figures so high or low they are hard to believe and have thought to myself "how carefully/crazily does this guy ride to get those figures?" Same goes for tyre mileages or brake wear. Just further proof we are all different and that is how it should be.
Wow, only 185 miles? With spirited riding my fuel light may come on around that milage.Curt said:Ran 'er dry today.
I was coming down the freeway at 1am when it started to cut out. At first, I could rev a little, and kept it going for about 2 miles. But then the engine cut and wouldn't restart. The amazing thing: I continued coasting about 1/2 mile, off an exit ramp, and into a fortuitously-located ARCO. Daaayam!!
Range on tank: 185mi (mixture of commutes and long distance)
F indicator: 41mi (shortest I've ever experienced)
