I would expect about 120 miles from 20 squid. Driven pretty carefully.
My rooflining hasn't dropped in mine.....how is that related to fuel consumption!?

its not i just want to know if its common for them to do this because all the tourers i have seen here in belfast have dropped

Doing the 8 miles country/town roads backwards and forwards to work, overtaking white van man whenever I can, means that I do 280-300 miles on a tank, but a long journey up the motorway I sometimes get 360 miles....
