I'm going for ultimate mpg-ness over the next 2 days - Riding like a grannie, shifting early, not going over 5k...Not sure what effect it will have but heres hoping the light wont come on before 150! :lol:

I've done 15.7 in the mountains in France but the high altitude was screwing the figures up and I only managed about 130 miles. Not a good place to run out of fuel.

I almost run out of fuel on the black mountains in Wales.

I have run out as I rolled into the Forecourt.
Bikes run great when they are just about to run out of petrol... :D
