I've also managed 60mpg
If proof were needed the 75 is a motorway cruiser, then it's the MPG.
I average 43mpg normally, but I've also managed 60mpg on the motorway (measured by filling, driving, then re-filling the tank). Only if you drive at 60-70mph though.......... Pete. |

50 MPH all the way from Ruislip to Warwick services, Full tank start and refill at the pump, calculated it out. Okay, maybe the tyre pressures were a bit high and I had slackened off the wheel bearings a few pounds too........

I assume we're not accepting a photo of the trip readout as proof, otherwise those with Tu3 etc should wipe the floor!
