Gas prices are the same, id pay 76-80$ for a tank and id get around 350-400 km per tank. With my twin. 50$ to fill up and i get around 350-400km per tank. A STOCK jeep with 2000 less pounds gets around 12-14 mpg. Why in the hell would a big old jeep get almost the same as a brand new 4 cyl car? Id expect the car to be waaaaaaay better. I dont expect to get 1000 miles to a tank but i expect to double the kms for dollars. I actually tried to drive liie a grandma, shifting at 2200, never being aggresive. For a whole tank. It was stoll SHIT mileage. It makes no sense that i wouldnt. I almost feeel the mpg display on my frs lies to me.

YIKES ...... @
Norinradd ....... I don't know where to start.
You are using too many different methods of measurement, with too many variables, for me to make since of what you are saying.
What kind of gas mileage (expressed in miles/gal or litres/100 kilometers) are you getting with your jeep and with your twin .. ??
I suggest you not trust your on board mileage calculator to give you an accurate reading.
