Howdy Dave. Checked my 07 Bonneville (1100km approx) last Sunday on a combined drive through secondary roads with moderate to steep-long uphills, rolling country and finishing a tank for 60km @ highway speed @ 110-120km. Ambient air temp varied from 8C to 20C (coast to inland drive) and I got 240km (144 miles) on a full tank to reserve......it coughed, I switched to reserve and filled up 10km later ok. I wasn't trying to stretch it out....just drive like I enjoy it....rolling on the throttle a few times just a little (still breaking it in). General high gear operation was between 2700 and 4200 rpm with the bulk of it between 3000 and 3800.
