   i think about £45 pound fills a tank from empty but someone correct me if im wrong.
   and with it drinking fuel i'd take it to the garage or a mate with some mechanical know how

   Change your air filter first. If its clogged then it will use more fuel. Also I change at around 2500rpm on level roads and its fine so maybe change a little earlier.
   
   Could also change Fuel filter, and Spark plugs to make it burn fuel more efficiently.
