Ran out Gas, Scraped a Peg

[Doug_imp]

I'm getting low-60's pretty routinely, but I rarely ride below 7000'. I guess it takes less gas up here to maintain the proper air/fuel mixture than at lower elevations.

That's great mpg there. I went over Boreas Pass a few weeks back and averaged 54 mpg. I would think mountain mileage would be worse since you have to keep in the throttle a bit more. My numbers may be a little skewed since Boreas is a gravel road and I didn't go over 25 mph. Even my few other mountain rides I got in low 50 mpg range. High speed riding such as interstate or in a stiff crosswind will only get me low 40's for mpg. Don't think I will ever see 60 mpg since I have been known to be a bit ham-handed on the throttle
