When I took off this morning my fuel guage was on 1 bar. I no sooner left and that one bar went to flashing and counting down at 55 miles remaining, so I rode and watched 55-50-45-40-35 (starting to get nervous) -30-25 (definitely getting anxious) -and at 23 miles remaining on the count down I pull in for gas.
here's the stats:
according to computer:
miles driven on tank 224.3 miles
23 miles remaining
3.9 gal fuel used
0.3 gal fuel remaining (what? that only adds up to 4.2 gals)
ave mileage 56.9 mpg
at fill up
Took 4.029 to fill
@ $3.599 per gal
$14.50 total
by calculator ave mileage 55.7 mpg
With 4.6 gal tank, should have had at least .5 gallon of fuel left good for approx. 27.8 miles
might..just might.. be able to get 250 miles out of a tank in an emergency.. 'might" being the operative word lol. Hope I never have to find out.
