I just filled up my tank...
 
... And it took 17.4 ltr, which could be classed as running it a tad close to empty on an 18ltr tank lol

It also cost a staggering £19.60! Which isn't good when you struggle to get 100 miles to the tank.

On the bright side though I just rode for the first time since November 2009 and the bike seems to ride perfect since I put it all back together which is a relief, AND NO MORE SITTING IN TRAFFIC FROM TOMORROW waahayy.

It's good to be back on a bike.

Meh, I've had over 20l before, out of a 20l tank!

Nope, although the fuel pump was ticking (a sign its not actually pumping anything) when I stopped. :)

It is for this reason that I love my 125 so much, even though it is a nasty old banger. It costs about £10 to fill the tank and that lasts me pretty much a month. In a way, it is a shame my 125 is such a banger, I bet he was lovely when he was new and used even less fuel, although when he was new, unleaded was under six pence a litre and Doctors told us smoking was good for us!

Right, where is me pipe and slippers? I feel old now I am talking about the good old days... :D

So you're getting 25mpg?
Thats not great fuel economy is it? or is it?

G likes to rag the **** out his bike. He rides it so fast it hurts his fingers... and wallet.

I'm in the dark myself.
Gladius tank is smaller (i think) than the sv but I've got 130miles before the fuel light comes on.
Only done a trip counter the last couple of refuels.
Not sure is this good, bad or average?:smt017

Costs about £12.00 to fill.
