Driving like an angel

The Hornet doesn't have a very big tank. 12 litres before reserve on the original bike (the latest model has a couple of litres extra). Consequently, it's not a high mileage between fill-ups.

Having had a look around various forums discussing the tank range of the Hornet, I must drive like an angel. Many people are stating they get about 100 miles before reserve (around 40 mpg). I have now discovered I'll get around 135 miles before reserve (about 51 mpg).

I must be driving like an angel! At least at my rate of fuel consumption, taking my bike, when on my own is more efficient than taking the car, which gives around 42 mpg. In these times of £1.12ish per litre petrol, every little helps!
