Nonsense, it's 17miles away! It's warm by about 8miles, and I never use more than 1/3 throttle or go above 3k until the oil is half-way up to 90, and even then I don't give it full beans until it's well up to 90..!

I dunno Joe, but I've consistently managed 33mpg over the last few months, and I even got 38mpg from the tank when I went to Ruans, despite beating it some when I got there Tongue

On the 33mpg runs I have been driving it pretty sedately. The ovalled hub I had made for some very interesting handling characteristics, which didn't exactly encourage me to drive it quickly lol!! I fully expect it to go down now the weather is getting drier..... ninja
