is that what the indicator says when you fill up or is that the mileage you get?&nbsp\\; I get around 350kilometers per tank but when I fill up is says 377.

Just wondering what other people see when they fill up.

I have no idea what I get.&nbsp\\; My gauge is so full of condensation, I haven't seen the needle in over a year and a half.&nbsp\\; I look into the tank, and fill up when it looks low.&nbsp\\; I need to go with an LED setup.

I just checked it the other day on my SE RG (1550) and I am getting 46 MPG. The other day I was riding and the gage kept dropping. I never ran it that low before but was on "EE") and the lite was on. I put 4.5 gallons in it on the stand. Not sure if that helps.

I never let mine get that low. I start looking for gas at about 160 miles on the trip meter, usually have to put in 4 to 4.5 gal, so there was plenty left.

i usually put gas when i hit the 200 mark on the trip light comes on roughly around there.&nbsp\\; when i fill it i usually can get 4.5 to 5 gallons in there so hopefully there is still a rough
gallon in there somewhere probably less.
