The MC mail has a flurry of letters about an article about Billy Joel from the previous issue. Although the letters refer to his Triumph and Moto Guzzi, the picture they chose to illustrate the section shows his Royal Enfield.

Jorge, the 85 mpg figure is a good 10 mpg better than I can do on my classic old iron barrel Enfield, and I never go very fast. I know that if I had a C5 I would cruise faster (since the extra power invites it), which would increase wind resistance regardless of how much more efficient the motor. Do you really attain a real-world 85 mpg?
ReplyDeleteIt is rather difficult to measure fuel consumption when the rate is so small. Any small error in estimating how full the tank is would be significant. I can only say it is way up there, certainly 70mpg at least. These guys claim 110 mpg in road use!
