Today hit 119 miles, took 2.4 gallons =49.58 mpg. I may have filled it a little fuller than last time, so actual mpg is probably over 50...not bad!
Yea'll RW the best I've gotten was 52 after the sprocket change. You do have to watch your speed ,it seems that going by listening to the motor rpm's like before you end up going about 10 mph faster than before, It does to me anyways.
