The Slow Experiment

13 February 2007 09:57

I was involved a conversation on one of the mailing lists I belong to yesterday about MPG that people get from a tank of petrol on a Deauville before having to switch over to the reserve tank.

The most I have ever got is about 200 miles but he claims that doing a constant 50mph he managed to get to 220 miles before switching. Personally I don't quite believe that but I must admit I don't think I have ever done a full tank where I didn't ride on a Motorway at some point which sucks petrols out of my tank like elephant sucks water out of a pool.

So I have decided for the current tank, I won't go above 50 mph and I won't refill until after I have switched over to the reserve tank.

Never let it be said that I turn down a tedious challenge.
