Just back from France with a fully-loaded Super3 (2 full panniers and rear eco rack with 2 bags and a spare front tyre plus a passenger). We did 1690 miles door to door and were amazed at the great fuel consumption! Checking back through my receipts, the trip computer was pretty accurate. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/07/11/IMG_8503.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/07/11/IMG_8502.jpeg)

Great fuel consumption or great V-twin rumble. You can’t have both!

Imperial gallon? Is MPG still in regular use in the U.K.?
Surprised to not see km/l. Is this a selectable display based on preference?

Surprised to not see km/l. Is this a selectable display based on preference? Welcome to the UK. We sell petrol in litres, but measure economy in miles per gallon (proper gallons - 8 pints). All road signs are in miles, but you'll also see temporary signs telling you that there are roadworks 800m ahead. We love to mix metric and imperial - I bought some thermocure the other day to flush my MGB - the instructions say "Remove coolant and add one litre of Thermocure per two gallons of water" Beer is still sold in pints, but you can buy milk in pints or litres.

Surprised to not see km/l. Is this a selectable display based on preference? If you hold in the button on the end of the indicator stalk, the display switches from miles per hour to kilometres per hour and changes the consumption function to mk/litre. I forgot to photograph the km/l result - apologies!

my wife and I always had a laugh. She was driving a gl1200 with a sidecar (with one child) and I a gl1000 solo. People would say "I bet that is fuel effecient"

Great MPG I think my mate used to get about 28 out of his, but the sound was awesome.

Just like to point out that an Imperial pint is 20 fl oz, rather than the US of A 16 fl oz - US gallon are still 8 pints Phil

Just like to point out that an Imperial pint is 20 fl oz, rather than the US of A 16 fl oz - US gallon are still 8 pints Phil In the US we deal almost exclusively in Imperial. You can pry those Imperial measures from the other cold dead hand that isn't holding our gun. I don't know why anyone would want to switch to a much simplier system based on measures of 10. The rest of the world simply wants to turn off their brains!
