That should just about make a Bangkok-Pattaya round trip in the Ford Raptor. 

 

Sorry got here from the newsletter. Didn't realise it was in the motorcycle thread.

I once read the Spaniards use to go 5000km on a Galleon, but I never believe what they say about them foreign cars. ????

over 4k miles sitting over an initially 108 liter tank: might as well sit over dynamite ?

4183 Kilometers ÷ 1.6 = 2614 miles.

108 liters ÷ 4.54 = 23.78 gallons.

2614 ÷ 23.78 = 109.92 

It works out at 109.92 miles per gallon , my PCX does more than that 120 MPG

Heavily bike with larger tank

It would be 91.1 US MPG. Your numbers are rounded too much. According to Fuelly that's also about as much as a PCX 125 does but now add nearly 100kg of additional weight to carry.

The 160 does 40 kilos to the Litre who cares.

That's about as much as this Monkey which did 38.73 km/L. It's an unmodified engine so if anyone wants to go and try beat the record... shouldn't be too hard hm? ????

Yeah I can get maybe 18 to the litre out of my 900 but it's a lot more fun only getting 10 or 12, to break a record for less to litre is what I like. ????

I used to drive a vehicle that used 3 gallons to the mile. 

That's 13.63827 liters per 1.6 kilometers.

4.5987 gallons per 1.5329 miles is not exactly impressive ????

I am from the UK , a UK gallon is equivalent to 4.54 liters . My PCX does 120 MPG around Phuket with all the Hills and traffic ect and I am 100 kg , i expect on a long run it would do around 130 mpg

Well Duhh!! If they went from North Cape to Albino they would've got better mileage. Looking at my globe of the world the drive would've been downhill all the way.

Maybe don't use UK gallons when in a non-UK environment. Nearly noone in the world uses UK gallons. Thailand uses metric units and so does nearly all of Europe. Gallons are one of the worst units because not only do most countries not use gallons but gallons can mean different values between countries that do use gallons.
