05 FZ^ - How many miles on a tank ?

[getsum]

I ride the bike almost 95% of time to work (47 miles) each way every day on highway.....
I have been doing this for 2 weeks now. average 72 mph

I have 147 miles on the trip meter right now.
It just dropped to 2 bars as I was coming up to the house.

Is there enough to go to work, or should I fill up in the morning ?

I would fill up in the morning if I were you. You'll definitely be able to make it one way, but why risk it? I hate seeing my fuel gauge with less bars then the temp gauge anyways, haha.

If you have to ask, just fill it up. No use running out of fuel where there's no petrol station.

Fill it up. I get around 200 miles before the gauge starts blinking. Never took it past 220 miles and was nervous as all doing that. Poorly plan route on my behalf.

Keep going...you have another 60 miles easy.

Plus one, you can make one way for sure, and you might even make it back, but that's risky. Let us now how it goes, or if you chickened out.

I also get about 200 miles before it starts blinking - sometimes a little more but I usually fill up before 200. There's really no point in stressing over running out of gas - there's enough in this world to stress over without worrying about something you can control.

200 miles on a tank should be a given since you're most likely keeping the revs down on a commute. Adding my "for what it's worth" opinion....Why not just fill it up on your way??

I get a little over 210 before I hit the reserve (blinking light, means about 1 US gallon left). Never hurts to get gas when in doubt though.
