Gas Mileage?

[pwh421_imp]

I think I'll start a poll comparing mileage of 5 vs. 6 speeds on this topic. In theory the latter should get better MPGs. I have a 2014 standard, weigh 260 and ride solo, w/o windscreen, averaging a little over 45 mpg on regular octane gas, but haven't really tried to stretch out the miles. I think "50" is quite doable with a six speed.

Im 280lbs and ride fairly aggressively, and a little faster than traffic (figure 75mph average) and I average 42mpg..

I wish I was getting 50.. But to get there requires riding slower than traffic and that is a danger not work the extra MPG's to me..
