In honor of this thread I spent today in mickey Mode, trying to see what sort of fuel mileage I could manage on my '17 EX. Cruising along at an indicated 72-74 mph on the freeway, my trip computer said I was doing 49 mpg. Once I exited the freeway and topped off the tank, I rode most of the rest of the day somewhat close to the posted speed limits, in large part due to Sunday boating traffic holding me up around the lake. My second full tank said I averaged 52.8 mpg. The trip meter said 178 miles, and the final fuel bar had just started blinking, yet I was only able to add 3.16 gallons of fuel, which works out to 56.3 mpg.
I don't know what to make of only being able to add 3.16 gallons after the fuel light started blinking. Regardless, I definitely eclipsed 50 mpg, and easily would have been able to do well over 200 miles on that tank.
