On briskish country rides I often get around 5 ltrs /100km.

[RyanG]

i get around 300kms from the tank.... and that is jsut daily commuting, maybe a quick ride up the mountain on a sunday. nothing crazy....

Sydney City Riding between 240km's and 260km's before reserve light comes on.

[PEENEE_5000]

I think mine's been remapped with the PCIII cos I'd be lucky to get 250kms if I'm riding in an excited fashion. (GEN 01)
sorry - did I just hijack a GEN2 thread?

Forgot to mention I used the 98 octane fuel.

[sutur]

220-260 before reserve light on average. 98 Premium.

Funny thing about the busa, you don't have to wring it's neck to get it moving rapidly - but you can. So consumption is going to vary heavily!

i have gen 1 bus and power commander dynoed,twice i have proved that if i do 200 kph i get 200 km"s,at 300 kph ,i can only make about 150 km"s.

Really? You sustained 300km/h for 150km? Mad dog!

[gggsxr11]

not 100% of the 150 km"s but mostly it was,i "ll go 85% or 90% of the run.

On the weekend outing here in South West WA, I consistently got about 275-295 before the low fuel light came on. On refill shortly after the light, the most I got in was about 16.5 litres. I'm too stuffed to do the sums, but none of those kays were 'cruising'

Belzybob, here's the calcs for your fuel consumption.
Pretty impressive considering "none of those kays were cruising".

Kilometres driven: 295 Km
Litres of Fuel used over distance travelled: 16 L


Consumption in Litres per 100 Kilometres: 5.59 L/100Km
Consumption in Kilometres per Litre: 17.89 Km/L
Consumption in Miles Per Gallon (Imperial): 50.53 MPG (Imp)

Must be my soft hands and 295 was the highest, but 275 or above is the norm. Its been pretty much that way since I clocked up 3000 kms on the odo.

[cyndemgum]

283 divided by litres /100kms = miles/imperial gallon.
