YAWN - my record is 180 miles with 3.2 gal fill-up, but it was a long trip in curvy road with 50 mph average, 91 octane

Thats just to flashing reserve, pretty sure I can beat 180. Did 179 before but went on flashing reserve earlier than 148 that time.

Funny, when I was removing the tank, I was like... How do I turn the gas off?! Gee, sure hope it doesn't leak when I disconnect this.

Mine has never been that low. I think my first tank was 48 mpg. I haven't gotten less than 55 mpg in months and my highest was 56.8.

I have a feeling that regional gas types are effecting this as much as riding style. The gas in CA is JUCK....CRAP....(#@*$^&$#.....whatever you want to call it.
I used to live in Illinois before I moved here and my truck (2004 S10 crew 4x4) would get 17 or 18 in town and easilly 20-22 on the hwy. NOW....13.5 in town and 17-18 on the hwy. JUNK FUEL!

I think length of rides makes a difference also! If you commute or ride a minimum of oh say 40+ miles one way without stop and go traffic then stop your mileage will be greater.

Me, I am averaging still in the 36-39 mpg range... but my riding is primarily in city traffic stop and go. I usually now will hit flashing at or about 105-110 miles. Then when I fill up that is roughly 2.8 - 2.9 gallons.

Wishing I could get that great mileage!!! Or better yet come close to the wife who gets 110-114 mpg with her PCX150!
