I had filled up on 1 bar not flashing last time at 142 miles, and zeroed my Trip B. When I got to 142 miles on this tank I started watching it. Finally at 153 the last bar started flashing (about 3 miles from home) and then the mileage went to 61 indicating at current speed I had 61 more miles of fuel left in the tank ( 153 + 61 would indicate a range of 214 miles). Then it flashed to total miles on bike. Then back to miles on tank and remaining miles on tank, then back to total miles on bike. Very strange. Why would I need to know total miles on bike when I am running out of gas?
Funny thing is, when I got to my street I slowed down from 55 to 25 and by the time I got home I actually had 64 miles of gas left at the new current consumption rate of 25 mph.
My next goal is to see if I can actually get 200 miles on the tank if I don't chicken out, panic and fill up.
Btw the computer said 50.8 mpg ave for anyone who cares ( Tortuga I know you don't)
Hehe, you're right. It doesn't bother me. I fill up with BP Ultimate Unleaded at a heady £1.40 per litre. Only the best for my Dixie.
