I get about 140 miles from £20 quid - and I thought that was pretty bad.
The cossy will do 60-65 miles on a tenner. 15-18 miles on a tenner must be running way too rich I'd guess.

60 miles to a tenner is about right.

went to croft from south wales in mine in sept, did 260miles on a tankfull, the car is standard. Car started to cough and splutter as we drove through croft main entrance, still showing a quarter of a tank on the needle, forgot that the good old s2 can suffer from dodgy fuel senders/gague's
