Exmouth to Great Torrington via Sourton Cross. This is 61 miles (98km) in total. Exmouth to Sourton Cross is 38.8 miles, mainly A30 dual carriageway and cruising at 80mph. Sourton Cross to Great Torrington is fast wiggly A-road. Top-up at Great Torrington was 1.5 UK gallons (6.81 litres). That means 40mpg (9.45km/ltr).
Great Torrington to Tiverton via Barnstaple, Lynmouth and Minehead is 90 miles (145km) of more mixed riding, some of which is very slow through some winding gorges and small towns, but 2/3 is fast sweeping riding. Top-up in Tiverton was 2.62 gallons (11.8 litres), meaning an average of 34.35mpg (12.29km/ltr)!
151 miles/243km -- 4.14 UK gallons/18.8ltr -- 36.5mpg or 12.92km/ltr.
Damn... I must be smoother than I thought!!
When I top up next I will add the final leg up, and get an overall total for the 200 miles. It will also be interesting to see what the averages are over only the wiggly bits! I reckon it will drop below 20mpg then.
