Re: 71mpg, 75mph in Atlanta

I try to keep a very light hand while accelerating to speed. I have had tanks of 50 mpg when goosing it a lot. I have to use every hyper-mileing trick I know to get the 75mpg. Not as much fun till I gas up...last fill up was at 210 miles, 2.8 gal, $9.40 in all. Woulda been $14 or so had I been riding it hard. ( but where else can you have so much fun for $5).

Actually gas is probably the least expensive thing you will add to your bike.
