#1022603 ctkog (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 523 Squeaked out 200 miles on a tank full 5 Months, 1 Week ago   I squeaked out 200 miles on my last fill to the tippy top after spiking the filler neck of my '08. Prior to that I might get 175 tops. Upon filling it accepted 3.95 ga to the bottom of the neck then i was able to slowly add another .65 for a total of 4.6 gallons and 43 mpg... only. But it's nice to squeeze out an extra 25 miles per fill! ..........   Logged     ---------- NOTHING STRAIGHTENS MY HEAD OUT BETTER THAN AN ENTIRELY CROOKED ROAD-----------   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022605 Messer (User) HD turning gas into heat and noise since 1903 Platinum Boarder Posts: 3276 Re:Squeaked out 200 miles on a tank full 5 Months, 1 Week ago   Ctkog wrote: I squeaked out 200 miles on my last fill to the tippy top after spiking the filler neck of my '08.

It's weird maybe it was when it was on the winter blend but I WAS getting more like 48 per gal a while back seems like it dropped in Summer.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 7151 Re:Squeaked out 200 miles on a tank full 5 Months, 1 Week ago   That's crazy good. I never got more than 170 miles on a tank on my 2012 and that was babying it like I've never done in my life in the middle of nowhere NY. Even pulled into a gas station that was closed up for the night at like 7:00pm I'm talking pulling the clutch in on every downhill and everything. That was a stressful ride that night Made it back to Port Jervis on fumes. Piss on that. Another love for my new bike. Make it 200 miles no problem even when beating it a little bit   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022620 ctkog (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 523 Re:Squeaked out 200 miles on a tank full 5 Months, 1 Week ago   Messer wrote: Ctkog wrote: Messer wrote: Ctkog wrote: I squeaked out 200 miles on my last fill to the tippy top after spiking the filler neck of my '08.

Make it 200 miles no problem even when beating it a little bit Thanks that makes me feel better on my mpg's....... what did you buy? I went from 110 hp and 55 mpg to safer. Well kinda.... now I scrape my floorboards and frame so not sure how much safer I really am .. but hell at least I'm going a slower and enjoying the scenery a lot more that used to go by in a blurry hurry.   Logged     ---------- NOTHING STRAIGHTENS MY HEAD OUT BETTER THAN AN ENTIRELY CROOKED ROAD-----------   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022625 Penguin (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3307 Re:Squeaked out 200 miles on a tank full 5 Months, 1 Week ago   Steady running my 07 will do 200 without hitting reserve. Last tank on the other hand had the light on at 135.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022638 Deerkiller (User) I just made this great wheelie...did you see it?

I ride an F6B now. Larger gas tank. Also much better fuel economy on the expressway at higher speeds than the Roadstar is capable of   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022664 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5142 Re:Squeaked out 200 miles on a tank full 5 Months, 1 Week ago   I'm happy getting a 100!!
