Errrrr - Snap.

23-24 km/l seems to be my lot. But I am 'Big boned' and live in the hilly twisties

Could be worse - big yellow costs the same to run as my Bandit*250*!!!

Gotta love that Honda economy eh Stevo!

Caltex Techron 95. 21.69 litres - $44.45

346 kms on the tripmeter.

15.95 km/litre

6.27 litres per 100km

37.52 miles per gallon.

Hmmm -

That would be Miles per US Gallon Mr Riffer. Fractionally better than the big Viffer round town.

Try playing with the conversion tool attached.

Yes, I am sad (And my bike has an MPH speedo)

think isaac's calculation came up with something just over 30cents/km for his rf900.....but then again he is a big fulla and pretty much always had a pillion and hooned the fuck around

EDIT: just had a little bit more of a think and you have your petrol price generously low......hasnt been that low all year or for the better part of last year.....

My calcs are all correct. I spend enough time on them. I'm 100kgs/five foot ten and have a bit of a heavy wrist.

As for the petrol prices, we take full advantage of the Supermarket vouchers. I regularly save 10 - 15c a litre using them at the local Caltex on Fergusson Drive which takes ALL the local vouchers.

The average petrol price is calculated using the total price paid for petrol divided by the total litres of petrol used. It's ranged between about $1.60 and $2.20.

BUMP!!!

OK, let's go Saturday after 1pm. So that I'm free Sunday for riding

Toto you coming?

**Zim_Invader** · 20th September 2008, 00:33

hey, i'm gonna make a trip down for a bit, as a kunch time, stuy break. u keen to join? i won't be able to text, my phone's REALLY craping out, it's now just beyond funny or irritating. i really am starting to hate this dam device.

anyways, send up word on kb, and i'll check it tomorrow, b4 leaving uni.

**BANZAI** · 20th September 2008, 10:21

Nha I'm just gonna pop in fix day and go.

Argg life sucks! My thread got raped and I cant goto the show...

**Real_Wolf** · 20th September 2008, 19:43

just decided to post my little old xs250's fuel.

Basically, a fill up costs like $20 max usually about $15, and it can go 150km on that easily, so assuming $2 per lire, thats 10 litres for 150k, or 7.5 litres average

That means 6.6 l/100km, or at best, 5 l/100km.

This is a bike from 1982. I think that owns

Edit: Oh yeah, I also floor it alot, if I was more cautious on the gas, I could probably get the fuel efficiency way up, since I run it up to nearly full revs most of the time
