I have been running the Shell nitrigen enriched gas for the last few fill ups and getting better mileage. Still riding the same way and getting 49 to 54 mpg. With bp white gas was getting 43 to 46 mpg. Bike runs better to for some reason.

mine is a 5 gallon tank, and i typically fill up at 150 miles, at 180 it would take just a touch over 4 gallons to fill it. Since my latest PCiii map, at 150 miles it was a little over 3 gallons to fill it. i'm probably getting about 40 around town assuming i'm not beating on it, and closer to 46 or 47 on the highway.

Let's see I weigh about 260 and T weighs in at a sprightly 120, we almost always ride two up when cruising..The scoot has PCV from Jamie@fuelmoto, Rinehart slip-ons, Screamin Eagle breather..Went 169 miles yesterday and the pump said 4 gallons plum full..And we ride a little agressive..and thats a mix between in town and highway...Scooter

In town, 37 - 39 mpg. All highway about 41 - 42 mpg.
I start looking for gas around 175 mi on the trip odometer.
