Sportster, It appears you are getting gasoline mileage within what is expected. Of course, there are several variables that could affect our mpgs. Driving style, consistency of gas fill-ups, climate, etc.
FYI:
I started tracking and recording my CB1100E gasoline mileage starting near the end of my 600 mile break-in period. I used trip computer A for tank to tank mileage, and trip computer B for accumulating miles. I also compared the trip computer calculated mileage compared to my calculations. What I found is the trip computer tank to tank mileage can vary due to many reasons. But it is still a decent indicator.
I was more interested over a long term/accumulative mileage using trip computer B. Over 890 miles, my trip computer B displayed 52.2 mpg. Actual computed mileage was slightly better at 53.3 mpg. A small difference (Trip B being lower mpg vs calculated) was consistent throughout. I plan on doing another sample next year after my CB has over 2,000 miles on it.
If your head is spinning and you are asking yourself, "What's up with this guy?" My only defense is I am retired Civil Engineer who had a long career analyzing dams. This is what nerds enjoy doing...
