Mine gets anywhere between 40 and 59 mpg. It depends entirely on how I ride it. I have a pretty heavy wrist in the city and make good use of the CB's brisk acceleration. If I get better than 40 mpg on a tank of city driving, I'm surprised. At the other end of the scale is leisurely back road riding. On 55-65 mph roads, mid to high 50s is normal.
So far, I haven't really been surprised at the gas pump. If you have a heavy wrist, mileage could go down in colder weather since the denser air allows the engine to deliver more horsepower (and less mileage) when you crank that throttle open.
