Default Re: mpg and how much does the tank hold

These mpg threads make me sick 170 miles??? (in the wallet that is). I live in Hertfordshire and commute to London every day. 20 mile journey, there and back. I used to get around 120, which I think is reasonable mileage from city riding, but since the Winter, I haven't seen past 69/70 miles to a full tank. During Summer, I remember riding down the A10, and my temp gauge was on 110 (very dangerous heat), so I pulled up to the side to let her cool down. I had mistakely read the mileage (doh), so took off again. I know my bike is capable of doing over 100 miles to petrol warning light.

Last week I changed the air filter, oil filter, put new oil in, and new plugs. I also tried out Redex to see if it would make a difference, as apparently it cleans injectors.

I got an amazing score of 82 miles at my last fill up - Redex must be doin something or the service???

I'd like to see what I get at the next fill up.
