Fuel mileage can only go down, when you add a tuning device which richens the system. You just cant have your cake and eat it too. if you want more torque and power there is a price to be paid.

Very true. I was happy to trade a lot more power and performance to give up a little fuel economy. I'm seeing 40-43 mpg and don't think about it when filling up.

I have never really thought about how good or bad my gas milage is. The way I see it, if I want to continue to ride, I need to put fuel in the tank to do so. I have no idea how much the 10k I have put on the bike since April cost me, I do know however, that I have enjoyed everyone of those mile. I just wish the price tag at the pump would go down, this way I could by more stuff for my bike that last longer then 150-180 miles.
