That's what I told my wife on the cell phone after running out of gas. Unfortunately I didn't believe the fuel light and drove in the opposite direction of the gas station. She was madder than a wet hen when I asked her to bring me fuel. Which is understandable since she was trying to sleep before going into work tonight (she's a nurse on the night shift). Oh, 29.7 miles to empty which included some warm up time. | ||

You did good, mine stopped at 28.4, but I was able to push it the last block to the gas station. She will get over it when you take her for a nice ride to some place that she wants to go.  | ||

I've done 36.4 miles with the gas light on, and it still had enough in it to flicker the light on and off, and it still was less than 4 gallons to fill it. I love the fuel economy of these things.  | ||

Out here in Montana gas stations can be very far away. I was 10 miles from the house + another 14 to the gas station to fill up the jug. I'm sure to pay for this one. Not bad though, only 370 miles on the Uly and I have my first sit on the side of the road and contemplate life session while waiting for gas. A nice rancher came by and gave me a gallon and I met the lovely wife on the way with fuel. I'll for sure plan a little better in the future though. | ||

That's where my wife would've been hot. Not that I called for the bailout, but that I managed to get gas before she got there. I've gotten a tad over 30 miles on the light.........and felt I was pushing it. Took about 4.1 or .2 gallons if I remember correctly. I have been in the mid to high 20s many times on the light and it almost always takes 3.9 to 4.0 gallons. I'm impressed with the consistency of the light/fuel trip meter. | ||

Froggy, you amaze me with your mpg numbers... are you juicin your bike's fuel? I got a measly 23, unfortunately i had done a considerable amount of idling, before having to walk the bike a 1/2 mile uphill in 85 degree heat on a road that barely had a shoulder. I felt like i didnt have any either after that walk. Was refreshing however on the downhill to be coasting, on what little shoulder there was, past a cop and into the gas station. |
