In your message dated: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 07:32:05 EDT, The pithy ruminations from Helmuth Deubel on <Fuel - range> were: => After about 140 miles the fuel gauge shows less than 1/4 content and the => fuel lamp begins to glow.
That's a bit on the low side for the warning light to come on. With me, it's usually at about 160mi. => I don�t dare to drive more than 20 miles after the fuel signal. You can probably go a bit further. => My average consumption is about 9.3 liter/100 miles (rem:gas)at an average => speed of 99 mph. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh, that'll do it. Sustained blasts on the Autostrada (125mph for about 30~45 minutes) really kill the mileage. If you can keep it down to about 80MPH, you'll get much better mileage. :) => What is the experience about the range �til the tank is empty? Last weekend, I ended up doing about 35mi with the reserve light on until I found gas. A lot of that distance was riding slowly, in 5th gear. :) When I got to the station, it took 19.6L, and the needle was below the lowest line, but not completely onto the letter "E". The tank is rated at 20L + 3.5L reserve. In 6 years of riding the GTS, I think I've only put 200 on a tank of gas one or two times. Anything over about 185 and I'm getting nervous. I've never run out of gas, and I've ridden with the needle more than a "needle's width" below the lowest line in the gauge. I hope that gives you some info.
