    hi all,
    as the post heading, what sort of mpg should i get from my 885i tiger?
    its early days for my ownership, but im disappointed to calculate im getting about 35mpg from average driving so far.
    also, when the fuel level needle starts hitting the red, i bottle it and head to nearest petrol station to only squeeze in 17 litres. is that normal fuel guage behaviour? thats 8 litres left in it ! thats a big reserve!
    cheers:D

    I would be expecting far better mileage than that, my 885i T509 gives between 45 and 50 mpg and it is basically the same lump. Maybe it needs a good service and/or a remap using tuneecu or similar.
    In my past experience fuel gauges are very inaccurate, I go by distance travelled on my speedo but never take the chance of running out.
