On cruising days, I get about 45 to 50 mpg on interstate at 60 to80 mph.
Forgot to mention 2013 CB and very little city driving, mostly country roads and a short bit of highway.

With gear a bit more.
Don't see more than 40 odd mpg. Thirsty beasts.
In deed, I can almost see the gas gage move when I'm on the highway at 70mph.

You know, I had the cut down shield on during the winter and did not check the mpg.
I have it off now as I was only using it to block some of the cold off.Guess I need to get my weight down, that would make my Doctor happy too.
