Gas Mileage?

[lackskill_imp]

It is interesting to see the big difference in mpg with essentially the same bike. Are riding habits that much different that there is such a range in mpg? Is it the gas we are using, ie with 10% ethanol and it without? Are there manufacturing issues with the Nike's that is causing the big difference in mpg?

Who knows but I do find it extremely interesting we have some that get upper 50's almost 60 mpg then we have some just above 40 mpg... Something must be the cause.

I get low to mid 40's on my commute which is split about 25% stop and go, 25% below 70 mph, and 50% at about 85mph.

I've taken a couple 2 up trips to the mountains on some windy canyons where I'm rarely going above 50 and both trips were just over 59mpg.

I'm guessing that 85mph riding is what's killing my commute mileage, not so much the stop and go. Around town I've yet to do a full tank but it seems to be closer to 50.
