Fuel Use In 2006
« on: January 04, 2007, 06:13:52 PM »
I kept a record of fuel useage in 2006, came up with 294 US gallons (1123 l.) used, for a cost of $721.8 US. Total mileage of both bikes and the three cages :11960 miles (19290 km). Average mileage per gallon: 40.7 (17.2 km/l). Average cost per mile: 6 cents ( 4 cents/km). Just more useless info, but it is interesting where all of your money goes!

My R65 cost about 21 cents per mile last year.  That includes everything: Insurance, Tag, Tires, Repairs, Maintenance, Gas and Mods.  I burned 399.718 gallons for an average of 41.86 mpg.

everybody Oy Vey!
