    So that means you will use 5.2 gallons of fuel.

    5.2 gallons = 23.61 litres, so at £1.36 litre, your fuel cost will be £32.11.

    Working on 100 miles each way at 48mpg and fuel at £1.36/l

    =200 miles (100*2)
    = 4.167 gallons fuel (200/48)
    = 18.94 litres (4.167*4.546)
    = £25.76 (18.94*1.36)

    Your mpg seems high. It cost me £16 the last time I did it on the GS which is 76mpg by the reverse calculation.

    Life's too short to be working things like this out down to the penny. Shove some money & plastic in your pocket get on your bike and enjoy.
    If it is the NEC bike show you are going to then there's no parking charge, you get to park close to the main building and they have a helmet park

    I used to do Lyneham to Telford which was 127 miles with the route I used. Cost me about £28 return trip on the XJ6.

    So it shouldn't cost too much.

    where'd you get the idea that your £25 is a bargain---total rip off especially about 65% is bloody tax

    probabaly inversted so 'essential' military fire crews can trundle across to the naafi for tea in their 1 mile/gallon fire tenders :

    as they say in Spartacus ---spread cheeks and take it up fookin arse ;D
