I didn't know this until the other day:
The FN2 has a 50 litre tank and the fuel light is set to come on with 8.1 litres left. No wonder it always seems like I'm filling it up!
"There is a small reserve..." no indication of how much though! :lol:

Yeah
As they say, it pays for itself in the long run. I filled up when the light came on again, so really I could have done another 20 odd miles safely.

I might start looking into this then, i wouldn't mind an exhaust first, then i might get KPRO to save fuel.
That sounds so wrong saying that :lol:

When I first got it was 210-220 full tank.
Since it has gotten better. Last time I checked it was 270 on super U.
From experienced I have established it is down to driving style.
I used to blame short journeys, cold starts, traffic but I've realised it is possible without too much effort.
I can get 32mpg on short 3-7mile stop start town trips. Any longer distance and economy can go up to 37mpg with no vtec.
On a 60 mile trip through A/B roads finished with 15 mile motorway returned 32mpg for a semi-fun drive including a few blasts through the gears.
On average per hour of driving for me it is using 4.5 litres of fuel with average speed of 25-35mph ( this includes being stationary in traffic) -
