BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hit my frst 300 mile tankful today. A bit squeeky running on the reserve light from 50 miles down to 6 though. 24.12 litres filled.

Ditto - I did a 300 miler on one tank yesterday, and arrived at the pumps with 13 miles showing. Gets a bit tense, doesn't it.

I bought my 2007 rt fairly recently and did not realise the fuel gauge was iffy (it seemed fine to the half full.mark). I ran out of fuel on the M4 but managed to limp to a petrol station. 26 litres went in. So you were pretty low but had a couple of litres left.

I often get 300 miles from my 2007 RT

Looks like you’re getting 60 mpg … that’s pretty good mileage. I get somewhere around 50 most tanks.

Don't forget that the Imperial Gallon is 20% larger in volume than the US Gallon.

Oh, ok 1.2x50mpg=60 mpg, so I guess by my calculations I am right there. I tend to fuel up way more often than a 300-mile interval, but seems as if I were to push it.
