I could never get my head around the new metric system of how many liters per 100kmh and just do my maths the other way around and get a number of how many KM's per liter.
So, on a good day, 20+km/lt and a fast day with a headwind, 14km/lt.
This was more useful to me in a days travel as I could relate it to the distance I needed to travel a lot easier than the other way. And it gave a me a distance I would need to walk to the closest servo when I ran out
I hope that has not confused you

No worries, I think the confusion is because I didn't state whether I meant imperial or US gallons. I meant imperial gallons, and 60mpg = 21km/l so that sounds pretty consistent with your good day numbers on a DL1000. Given I'm looking at the DL650 I'm pretty confident fuel consumption should be a little better.
I believe the tanks size is identical on both DLs so fuel range should also be
at least 400km (250 miles).
