Economy bike?
My 12 RGC surprised me with a 50 mpg average during the break in period.
I got it in Nov. and put a quick 1K on it had the service and put it away for the winter.
So far I have another 1k on it and just found a station with non alcohol 91 octane. In this area it seemed that all stations were E10.
Just put a half tank through it at 52 mpg. Filled it and just ran that tank out. 54.7 mpg!!!!
I went the speed limit and rode through a number of small towns and had a fair amount of wind. Stock mufflers, SE I air intake and a Cobra F12000R programmer.
If it gets any better I can just leave the Prius at home

I know what you mean,I drive my honda civic to work and avg.40mpg. My rkc avgs. 45mpg but I have to run 93 octane in it the cost to go to work is about the same so I ride the rkc when the weather is good and when I'm not carpooling which is 2 days a week.
