'21 DCT - poor gas mileage

[the Ferret]

Just filled up yesterday. Had gone 224.8 miles, was .4 into reserve took 3.1 to refill so 72.5 mpg on that tank.

Wonder if the OP is doing any better with his?

OP has left the conversation. Last seen on the forum over 4 weeks ago. We are just taking to ourselves. But, that’s OK.

Well thats a shame. Follow ups are always appreciated.

It is OK as long as we don't answer ourselves.............

But sometimes I just want to have an intelligent conversation....

My '21 DCT first tankful still in break-in pd. yielded an even 70mpg, but I was pretty easy on it. Still, 48mpg sounds low to me!

Forgot to add that 70mpg was measured, not indicated.

I’m taller and heavier than OP. So is my throttle hand-probably. I have kept over 60MPG over the last 500 miles. My first 500 miles or so were 75MPG. Hills and city traffic aside, I compare to other bikes and my pickup. I can ride the NC to and from work around 3 times give or take 70mi round trip. In my truck I get almost 5 round trips on a 20 gallon tank. I ride standard mode.

I get an indicated 60 with mixed city driving and cruising at 80 on the toll road. I flip it into Sport once in a while when I know I'll need to get it on, but mostly I ride in Standard. I figure I could do much better if I always kept it in Standard and kept it below 70, but that's not how I ride. I would be happy with a half gallon more of capacity I suppose but it's not a big deal. If I had to do a long trip, I would probably bring a small gas can with me. I wish I could do something fun like that but these days I don't get those opportunities. About 6 years away from retirement so for sure then. If I can stay alive on those toll roads.

In case anyone is interested in comparing to an old standard model, my 2012 NC700S averages 3.58 l/100km (65.7 MPG) with a range between 3.96 - 3.15 l/100km (59.4 - 74.7 MPG) for a tank.
I generally only fill when close to empty, all above data comes from fills ranging between 11.4 and 13.7 L (3.0 - 3.6 US GAL).
