Here goes my credibility.

OK, here goes. Sunday I pumped the tank full to bottom of the filler neck. We made that 129 mile trip. I have made two trips to town for a total of 135.3 miles. It took 1.4 gallons to fill the tank back to the filler neck. That is 96.642 mpg. Impossible? NO, I pumped the gas myself, and the trip mileage matched the Harley mileage within 2 tenths. Has anyone else gotten that kind of fuel mileage? Even if the pump measure was off by 2 tenths of a gallon it would still be 85 mpg or so, but the pumps are inspected, so I have no reason to believe it didn't get that performance.
