I averaged 25 MPG in my MV6, running on propane that is cost-wise equivalent to ~60 MPG on diesel. Who needs the noise and narrow power band of a diseasel? ;)

Saying that, I'm struggling to get the average much above 15 MPG in the 840. Granted, it doesn't see much motorway, and I can't resist caning it to hear the V8 sing, but the economy really is shocking.

I'll be getting the bike back on the road in the next few weeks, and I can't wait -- 30 MPG caning it, and up to 45 MPG on a run. It's the holy grail of being economical *and* fast as break at the same time (as long as it doesn't rain) ;)

Over the last 4000 miles, my tractor has averaged 37.3mpg, mostly locked in 3rd gear on my shitty commute in to work.

On a 70mph run up motorway, speedo odometer (reset every time I fill) adding to MID range was way over 800 miles....
