Curious on the total distances for each run. I know that sometimes there are "mileage freaks" given certain conditions as my Goat would easily get 30 mpg if the portion of road was primo...

Great info, thanks for sharing!

Total miles on bike = 447.
1st test 120 miles / 2nd 98 miles / 3rd around 110 (receipt went out in trash)
/ 4th 59 miles.

Now plan to test 30-35 / 35-40 / 40-45 / and 45-50 just to see where
the mileage really drops off at.

Adios.

Coming from a bigger bike and seeing these MPG numbers, especially reports of 160 MPG's is just crazy, almost unheard of to me.

 

[Grommer2]

Where do you buy non-ethanol gas and where are you from old bike and gun guy?

 

[chye]

anything over 100mpg is amazing to me.

thanks for taking the time to calculate it and update us!

Spent most of my life in San Diego. Now in Idaho about 30 miles from Boise.

Costco had non-ethanol until 2 or 3 years ago. A couple of Phillips 66 stations have premium only, and a Baird Oil-Tesoro station has regular at about 10 cents above ethanol price.

Try Googling: "non-ethanol gas stations in (your state)"

Nice. Sadly Illinois being in the corn producing industry has to make use of it
