Travelling at 50 to 55mph I used to get between 50 and 60 miles per gallon.

Clive you can't make that kind of assumption first, you need to ask if it is an African or European 1956 G80.

Don't know about a G80 but my G15/45 750cc up 1 tooth on gearbox gets about 63 mpg average.

On a long run, like the trip down to London or when travelling abroad, I'd start lookiing for fuel150 miles after filling up expecting that I'd have another 50 miles in the tank without using reserve which doesn't amount to much. This would equate to about 60 mpg but I haven't really done a brim to brim check.
