Re: what's your gas milage, 80 mpg here quite happy

My combined around town/highway mileage is usually right at 70mpg. I was getting a little less than that before I put the windshield on, and since I replaced the exhaust and adjusted the carb. I seem to be getting a little more, between 72-76 most of the time. I weight 210 and i rarely go over 55 on the highway. I did one round trip to Atlanta last Summer and kept it pretty much all out just trying to keep from getting run over on I-75, about 250 mile round trip and my mileage went all the way down to 58 mpg, but I was keeping it over 65-70 the entire time, topped out at 77 going down a hill. I seem to get better mileage around town than I do if I'm cruising on the highway.
