Gas Mileage?

Maybe folks don't necessarily want to share such information, but I'd imaging that one big factor when it comes to gas mileage on our bikes would be the size and weight of the rider. A big/tall guy is going to create more drag than a short/small rider and their gas mileage is going to suffer some because of it.

Another factor is the altitude. I live in Colorado at an altitude of about 6,000 feet. The density of the air here is 20% less than at sea level. That means that the drag is lower and would explain why I get over 60MPG where others are getting around 50MPG. Just say'in'.

Exactly. There are a multitude of factors that impact gas mileage, but you rarely see people mention those factors when comparing numbers with one another.
