What did you actually get when you reset your gauge?


I did the Sheffield round trip (approx 260miles) and got 51.9MPG including traffic in Sheffield City Centre - was over 53mpg before that.

2 long stretches of 50MPH average speed cameras probably helped.

3 adults, a complete University luggage and gubbins incl top-box probably hindered.

As the Sat Nav stated 47 when I was locked onto 50 in the camera zones (isn't cruise control brilliant) I'm guessing the true figure to be around 50mpg which is bloody fantastic.
