I went last year but had only had the surf a week and bottled the course. Not too far for you to travel

With a risk of having my head bitten off, I to am a newbie surfer, who has just come back off hols to southern France, (gorges, mountains, 130k cruising in blistering heat etc) and in a month have done just under 4,000k.
Best tankfull was 505k
Average tankful 425k
averaged fraction under 30mpg
found out many things about the oddities of surfs, over the past month that I wished I had known before buying one.
Overall, I am converted for life, love it to bits.

What's the size of the mk 2 tank? From the figures given it sounds the 30mpg is near impossible unless the mk has a much smaller tank than the mk3.

I can put in 55-60 litre if my tank is really empty.
