Useless me
 aren't I
Mais non, mon ami!
I find MPG figures as misleading as suspension settings and tyre choice. There are two many variables with bikes, not least that the rider may not be riding the single as optimum as possible, whereas the triple rides more like a 4cylinder, so this may skew the results.

Yep, sure thing. But it's interesting to see what is obtainable - especially as I spend so much on petrol each year (nuts, that reminds me - tax return due soon
)
Like Keith, I've always found my Ten (and the DR650 before that) quite consistent in mpg. And yeah - the Fuelly website is quite useful for getting a general view of mpg.
Given that motorbike journos mpg figures are often on the pessimistic side (including that for the Ten) it is VERY uplifting to see them quoting the 800GS at 60mpg.
