996 Bip - General road riding approx 115-120 miles to fuel light. Never tempt going beyond a further 20 miles after that on reserve.
Usually fill up at next station after 100 miles on the trip.

Weeksy,

When have you ever seen 100 miles from a fill up..???

Based on your antics this year we doubt you ever put more than 4 quid in at each petrol station visit ....

Do you ever run out in the van ..???

I manage 3 donuts a ride out if that helps .?? they are a great aid to keeping the front wheel down ....!!!

On my 996bip I get about 100-110 miles on a good day and 80-90 on a bad, or is it 80-90 on a good and 100-110 on a bad.

.....never runs out of petrol in the van, he just keeps it topped up with diesel!!!

Spirited road riding :ninja: I regularly get 120 miles to reserve light and that's with a 14T on the front.
Conservative estimation of remaining fuel (3-4litres) means I must fill up within 20 miles. No problemo:o

Is it standard gearing? If not that could effect it.
Or are you just mullering it everywhere? :lol:
