On another forum I mentioned how I could probably get better mileage on the new Wing than the tester did who averaged 38 mpg, but admitted very aggressive riding during some of the testing.
VLJ responded.... no doubt, because you turn everything you ride onto a skateboard .... lol. I hadn't checked my mileage in awhile so thought I would today. Today's ride was a normal/typical ride, 67 miles over to the lake and home the back way on some really good curvy roads. I wasn't pushing it and I wasn't dogging it. Just riding as I always do. Here's the numbers
Miles today

Tank on a dlx holds what 4.6 gals? At 56 mpg the tank should go 257.6 miles to empty. I have gone 225 miles on a tank a couple of times and had a half gallon left when refilling so the numbers add up.
I lose about 10 mpg when running 70+ on the freeway but still should be able to go 200 miles + before running out of gas (although I start looking for gas at about 150 miles on trips.)
skateboard?
