Average Fuel Consumption

Image
My mileage now is over 1,200 km. My average fuel consumption for town use has been averaging around 50km/litre which is great. My average speed was between 60 - 90 kmph. Yesterday, my average speed was between 100 - 110 kmph and the average fuel consumption dropped to 44km/litre.

After Petronas near Gelang Patah

I refuelled the PCX with 5.09 liter of RON95 yesterday. The PCX travelled about 213.2 km with the same amount of petrol (refulled at Petronas near Gelang Patah). The average fuel consumption was 45.2km/l. Could be better if not because heavy throttling and lots of high speed journey. Before refuelling, the indicator showed 3 bars of petrol left in the tank. With nearly 3 litres left, it could have easily travel another 100 kilometres.

Ride to Kota Tinggi, Johor to Tandoori House

After the first service, the engine is noticeably more refined and less in vibration. Acceleration is much smoother, gone are the harshness of the brand new engine. I believe things are getting better with the engine. Before the service, the engine was displaying 47.4 km/litre as the average fuel consumption. After the service and a refuel, I reseted the counter, and after more than 100 km, I am getting average of 44 km/litre. May be it was caused by my frequent in town short distance ride. Otherwise, I believe the engine oil is the culprit. I will continue to monitor. At Tandoori House, Kota Tinggi I don't get to ride much, only to short distances. Today, I went for a ride to Kota Tinggi, Johor which is 40 km from home. The traffic and weather was great for riding. However, the wind wasn't so kind. I have to be on the extra alert, especially when overtaking large lorries. The 43 litre Givi box could be more aerodynamic. But, I still love the box. 2 large full face - no...
