I did a search, but could not find a specific thread concerning S10 fuel consumption on this site.
It would be good to keep a record of what fuel consumption others are getting for different riding conditions.
E.g. fuel consumption (L/100km or US MPG) according to on-board computer at:
A. Sustained highway speeds (110 - 140 km/h indicated)
B. Country road driving (70-110 km/h indicated)
C. Mixed (all speeds, city, HWY, country)
If none of the above apply to you, just state your own conditions
I have noted that the computer calculated fuel consumption is about 0.4L/100km optimistic when I refill.
I have started commuting for the season and my week consists of a 150km highway ride on Mondays and Fridays (110-140 km/h indicated), then also mixed riding during the week. The total is about 660km per week. When I get the chance I give it a good old twist of the wrist, but otherwise kind of calm riding because there are too many cops around. This week my average fuel consumption according to the computer is 4.7L/100km (50.5 US MPG), which probably corresponds to 5.1L/100km (46.5 US MPG) actual. I keep the bike in sports mode all the time. This strikes me as pretty good for a 1200cc, 261kg bike. Also think that my fuel consumption has improved compared to last autumn when the bike was brand new.
