Got my best tank Sunday coming back from a road trip in the mountains. 105 miles 1.97 gallons, about 53MPG. That was 2 up with luggage, well, a stuffed backback . Its actually a little better than that cause my tires are slightly taller than stock so Im actually going a little further than indicated. Previous best was 51MPG.

I have a King Peanut.(3.2 Gal.) I get about 90 miles before fueling. I have a gallon reserve also. So I figure 130-140 roughly on a whole tank. Drivemostly in town so I get about 45 MPG usually.
