Went to Norway last summer, where the speed limit is 50mph. We were regularly getting 300 miles to a tank (somewhere in the 60s-mpg).
The problem with the Africa Twin is that you go to reserve at about 18 litres, on a 25 litre tank. Generally in the UK reserve comes up at about 180 miles (45mpg), which is pretty poor economy really. But if you were to continue until the tank ran dry you'd have got 250 miles from it.
However the comparison shows how much speed affects economy on these bikes.
BTW I'm running a high screen and Zega cases, so the frontal area has increased from 'barn door' to 'barn'. And it's the standard air filter and exhaust system.
