i also have a fuel gauge. I never use my trip odometer, I sometimes use my Zumo to keep track of mpg.

I found that on those bikes WITH fuel indicators, they're often quite pessimistic and when I've had one I still use the trip odometer...

I always do it to calculate mpg. Fuel gauge or not. Do it in my cars too.
