37.5 mpg
150 miles on 4 gallons of 93 octane...Does that sound about right for for my setup?

...just checking, thanks

RE: 37.5 mpg
I'm getting 44mpg on 93 octane, but I'm keeping my rpms under 3k - 60 to 70 mph, so I can see it dropping to 37 if I drove 70 to 80 mph - sure.

Yeah and if you slow it down to 60-65mpg you should get another 10-20 miles out of that 4 gal.

You will get even better mileage if you drop from 250lbs. to 220lbs. J/K I couldn't resist.

I'd love to get that milage! My light comes on at 150 but I got a 6 gallon tank! Usually takes 5 gals for 150 miles, that's only 30 mpg.....
