How far do you take it?

I converted to 98 when Nev first mentioned it. But my Turbo Diesel does not like it.
I accidently put 100 litres of 98 in it and the only reason i did not put more in is cos I realised i no longer own a petrol car - on the tow truck to the mechanic to drain the tank.
I fill wifes car with 98 but she fills with 91

I must have something wrong with my 05 Rocket. As sure as the sun rises I get 134 - 140 km or 10 - 11lt/100km with every single tank and I'm astonished to read how much extra milage you guys get.

Chopped my exhaust in half and run Power Commander.

To add to the above.
Sunday's ride 500km; 100 - 120kph with a few short sharp bursts on a 30 km twisty racing section of The Great Ocean Road.
I used 2 tanks - 250km on a full tank

Surely there cannot be over 100km difference between city and country riding????????????

Please help?

There can easily be that much difference in a tank. I can get 40mpg on open road/back road cruising, and can get 30, or less, in city traffic. There is 60 miles, or 100 kilometres, difference.

Thanks idk for taking the time to offer an opinion, nevertheless, I'm still astonished.

No problem. My Camaro can get 35mpg (on the little American gallons) cruising at 65mph on the Interstate, but drops down to 18 in the city. That means that I can roughly double my distance on a trip - if I keep it at 65. Admittedly it is a slightly different vehicle, but it does show that the difference can be quite big.

Yep there can be...my daily commute is pretty much as you describe above and I get 250km if I run it to empty

Has it had any mods? Before I did mods my gas light came on consistently at 190-200 miles (stateside riding). After the mods my light comes on consistently at 135-145 miles. Still the same 2 gallons left in the tank. The post mod riding was all in Germany (or Europe) though, so my highway driving was an average speed of 160-180 kph (100mph).
