thats about normal for the earlier evos. Our 3 does around the same. and so did our 1. The later the evo the more fuel they seem to use

Yeah i'd be happy with that.

I am running spot on 1bar with induction, decat, exhaust etc and I usually get about 180 miles out of a full tank.

However, the last time The Monk and I went for a proper blast I did 130 to a full tank!!!

But who gives a feck?? Smile for your mile or what???
