Did 325 miles yesterday and just as I pulled into Tesco for fuel, the remaining range showed - - -. I can confirm that the bike didn't conk out and took just over 25 litres (quoted tank usable capacity) to fill it to the brim. For the record, this is a physical check of 58 mpg, the BC showed 60 mpg (always reads slightly higher).

Confirmed the above again, did 331 miles yesterday before the BC range was zero. After another mile, put 25.33 litres in to brim the tank. That's a physical check of 59.4 mpg, the BC showed 61.4 mpg.
