After the recent 3300 kms trip in the Alps
I measured 44mpg (5,4 lit/100kms) two up, fully loaded with some 30,40 % of highway transfers with 100mph speed.
Fuc..ng zippo!

My two up Alps trip returned a low of about 43 when cruising at 90mph two-up with luggage, and a high of about 56 on mountain switch backs.
Flash has helped by 2-3mpg, and back home faster blasts are in the mid-high 40's and riding on narrow lanes gets high 40's into low 50's, overall as good or better than any other bike I have owned except for Motorway work.

interesting side-benefit with increased mileage with the re-flash....
Rasher--was that UK or US mpg?
In my S10 research, I looked at the recorded gas mileage for US bikes on Fuelly.
In case someone is curious, fuelly shows a weighted average of 41.3 mpg (US) for 18 bikes over 531 fill-ups (US bikes only).

I don´t know if you can see this info i´ll post... http://www.fuelly.com/driver/chequeneglia/xtz-super-10
My avg consumption (32% city / 68% Highway-Offroad) is about 15,2 Kms/lt --- after 3602 kms
My best is 21,8 lts/km - 100% highway, 120 kms/hra
My average city consumption it´s about 14 Km/lt.

In Cochabamba, Bolivia at the moment, and just had my best mileage of the trip so far.
I filled up with gas yesterday after covering 240 miles/386km from La Paz. Took less than 17 litres. That worked out to 54mpg (US), 64.85mpg (UK), or 23 km/l. Not bad for a bike that hasn't had a service in 26,000 miles (ok I cleaned the air filter about 8000 miles ago, and oil changes of course).
Mileage is helped by the high altitude. Average altitude for this section was around 3500m/11500ft. Thinner air means the the injectors squirt less gas into the cylinders - there is a drop in power to go with it, but not unbearably so. The Tenere has power to spare...
Another nice surprise at the gas pump - Bolivia has subsidized fuel, like Ecuador, and price for locals runs about 50c/litre. If you are on foreign plates however, the price is tripled. The girl at the pump yesterday checked my plates, but still charged me the local price. Score!
