I took quite detailed gas consumption readings on a 30+ day, 10k+ km trip between Bolivia-Argentina-Chile last october. Hopefully of interest to somebody here.
Overall Trip Average km/liter : 23
Highest km/liter : 29
Lowest km/liter : 14 (to be expected as it was continuously ridden at 5500-6000 rpm)
Longest stretch between fill-ups: 461 km
Gas octane ranged between 91 and 98 RON. I couldn’t detect a pattern directly correlating higher mileage with RON rating. Type of road (paved, flat, mountain, curvy, dirt, rocky, high/low speed) was more important.
I can now be confident I can cleanly squeeze 500 km between fill-ups!
Very happy with my Guzzi. Have a new trip planned for late feb thru mid march.
PS: I’ve attached my detailed spreadsheet with the details of each gas fill-up during the trip.
