There must be something wrong with my '06 Ulysses, I regularly get 60 mpg :D from mine, on mostly what you call B roads in the UK, but not trying to be frugal. It's bog standard, original exhaust n all.

My 07 XB12s which Ive done 20k miles on has given worst of 124 miles to fuel light and best of 158miles . Usually about 140 before light, at this it takes a bit less than 10 litres to fill,using 91 unleaded in NZ. It works out at about 60 mpg, which I feel is pretty good for a 1200 cc motor and aerodynamics like a barn door.

That is nothing, I have done 65k on my M2 and still waiting for the fuel light to come on lOl

I usually get around 50 mpg; it will happily do 60 mpg too but the gain of 10 mpg is not worth the loss in fun.
