33 mpg. The scoot may be a little richer than most though since I have no baffles in the exhaust.

I rode for a week in the Smokies-got 40 mpg on the highway and 45 in the mountains-yes,I was very proud of my bike (of course if I stay around 80 or faster on the interstate, it drops a bit, and by the way, I love my bike '03 blk/silver).

Mine is only 1000 miles old. I have been keeping track of the mpg. Getting 35 to and from work during the week, and last weekend, 40 mpg running all interesate at 70mph. thought it would be a little better, but for the horsepower, I'll make the sacrifice!
