Something must be wrong with my CB1100('s owner)... I'm only getting around 38 MPG... Stupid torque is too much fun.

Just finished my 7th tank. Mileage is pretty predictable at this point. Around the city (with some freeway miles) between 41 and 42 mpg. Tanks with all or mostly highway miles were 45-46.
Surprisingly, this is exactly what I get on the old CB750.
I've seen a lot of posts with mileage numbers in the 50s, but I imagine my riding style will keep that from happening very often.

I think the CA gas and just me (all 255 lbs of me) will keep me from seeing a 50+ number.

Been there and done that myself. :angel: One of my buddies had a Yamaha Warrior and he hammered on that thing constantly. He was getting 26-28 mpg out of it. Now thats pretty bad for a motorcycle. He has since gotten a lot older (like I havent) and can get 50+mpg out of a Victory 106 under the right conditions. Funny how that age thing works.

Yep, about 2-4 mpg less.CA200_imp said:

Incorrect sir. Ethanol (A.K.A. alcohol) kills gas mileage because it takes more of it to achieve the correct A:F ratio.oldyaler_imp said:

Third fill-up: 49.9 mixed riding, but mostly in town without showing off too much.

That's some spectacularly bad gas mileage, even for a Warrior. I've got an '09 in the garage next to the CB, and even when I'm hammering it I don't normally get below 33-34 mpg. On the same bike with SWMBO on the back, I get 48-52 mpg, depending on traffic.
My last fillup on the CB (2 hours ago on my way into work), I got 43 mpg. I only really commute on the CB, no highway, but I work nights and only go about 11 miles so traffic isn't usually a huge issue. Just all the red lights I end up stopping at.

Glad to hear you're keeping the front wheel down.GSAviator_imp said:
I bet he's rubbed his footpegs down to nothing though... You don't need to use up too much gas for that.The ferret_imp said:GSAviator_imp said:

I must be doing something terribly wrong. I only got 30mph last tank. Never got the rpms above 5k either. Although most of my rides are under 10 minutes in lots of stop and go traffic.
WOW jimigalahad thats wild better check your # again. Last tank I got 53.46 mpg and that was when after I got sick at a rally
and beat my way home at 65 - 70 mph all the way home. I filled at 152.7 w/ 2.86 Gal with the fuel light flashing at 146 miles .
Has anyone got more the 3 gallons in a tank yet ? I haven't

Nope, those numbers were right. I think I'll take her out on a long highway ride this weekend and see if I get different figures.

I havent. I believe my record is 151.6 miles and 2.9 gals.CA200_imp said:
Gypped was getting 43 in a situation just like yours jimigalahad, a couple of posts above yours. 11 mile commute of stop and go traffic. Blipping the throttle at stops, jack rabbit starts and stops all contribute to poor mileage.

I have. I quit paying attention to the gas gauge and started going by mileage on the trip meter. Last 4 fillups have been between 3.3 - 3.4 gallons, with (presumably) 1/2 gal left in the tank.CA200_imp said:
My in town mileage has been pretty steady at about 42 MPG, so I pull over for gas when the trip meter is between 135 and 140 miles.
