in fact I rarely take her above 3000 rpm

You're not revving the engine enough. Remember it's a small engine made by people who only knew how to make motorcycles until recently

mine sees 5000 rpm at least once a day, keeps the engine clean and fuel consumption is actually a bit better than when you keep the RPMs low.

Just curious Sam, what's your top speed with a rock lobster and 29" tyres?

Last century I had an Austin Champ and I would get about 6 mpg with that.
