2013 CB1100 MPG

[_imp]

I see what ferret is saying that higher math where you have a full tank by looking in the tank not using the gauge on the instrument cluster that has been pointed out by some to be faulty from many magazine quotes, then riding a certain amount of miles then filling up again using the same method of ignoring the gauge.

Now in my old school math I would take the miles traveled divided by the fuel used to get the miles per gallon. Maybe the new math has some formula to factor in a gauge that doesn't need to be factored in as we were not discussing the mileage in relation to the bars on the gauge but rather the mileage in relationship to the amount of gas put in the bike...

But I think we all can agree that the gas gauge, and not in relation to the miles per gallon we are getting, leaves a lot to be desired as it varies from bike to bike with how it functions. And the function of the gas gauge has nothing to do with how much we put in the tank and how many miles we ride on those gallons of gas. The gauge is in my opinion just a tool, albeit not a good one for letting us know if we have gas in the tank or not.

Now back to the miles per gallon. Ferret, I travel 107 miles then put in 2.8 gallons of gas filling to the same point in the tank by visually looking in the tank while I fill. Can you help me out with how many miles per gallon I am getting?

How did you know when to stop the bike and look inside the
tank and gauge if the spot was relatively the same area where
you filled the last time.Each time you stop and look inside
the tank requires using the key.So either you had yer spare
key available or you had to physically stop the bike and turn
off.
