What is your commute like? Mostly side streets with lots of stop signs / stop lights and much stop 'n go traffic in general? Or do you mix in a fair amount of freeway time as well?
My commute is all stop 'n go — mostly side streets with no freeway riding at all. I've seen 35 mg when I'm doing nothing but commuting between fill-ups. If I mix in mostly highway riding on the other hand, I've typically been seeing 53 mpg to date. Reports so far do make it sound as if there is a good chance things are improving on the gas mileage front as the bike racks up more miles.
