The fuel guage isn't the most accurate I've had.F-trip can show as low as 180 miles( then dissappear next time I ride) or high as 250 miles.
300 mile per tank on my commute is normal which is mostly back country lanes.I rarely use motorways or A roads.I am doing a ride this weekend which involves a fair bit of M20/25 so I'm curious to see the resulting mpg at motorway speed.

If I have to I can do between 70-80 miles on F-trip.
I've never had a bike with a plastic fuel tank or a fuel guage before but I get the impression that petrol in the Tenere is very susceptible to heat expansion hence the resetting of the F-trip on a number of occasions after parking up with a very warm bike.
I don't find motorway cruising any worse on the mpg as long as you don't try and fight a head wind. If you do regularly have to deal with head winds try a one tooth (or more) larger rear sprocket - it will allow the engine to rev more freely and be less stressful for it. I can hold a very respectable motorway cruising speed on about half throttle and consistantly get 60-65mpg.
