I've been getting less from mine, I don't know if it's the winter weather or because I'm riding faster. Or a combination. Previous bikes and cars have all shown a summer/winter difference.

Mine goes up in the winter or when it rains (unless it's really hammering it down) which I guess is me going slower and being more gentle on acceleration. At the minute I'm getting 200 miles out of 14L, not tried pushing the range any further.

recently I was on about 180 miles when light just stayed on - without any petrol station in sight

after another 5 miles it turned out that I could not put in more than 15l anyway

usually the light starts blinking around 150-160, a bit less in winter

Mine blinks about 130 on average.
At worst 110, at best 140.

I go too and from work 5mile each way. I normally take a bit obscure route and blast it home.

When I'm not commuting I go up and over the hills around Rochdale and Huddersfield pretending I'm as good as Alex lowes and shake Byrne. All well within the speed limit that is!

I could probably get better mileage if I tried.

My daily mileage has jumped up thanks to a new job, at least 60 miles a day plus extra . Currently got 196 miles on the trip and solid light's only been on a couple of mile. My curvy much happier being worked hard!
