Gas mileage poll. [keep it short!]

Noticed there was no thread where everyone just posted the gas mileage theyve been getting.
Sooooo post it up, BUT, in the interest of keeping this short so people dont have to sort through a bunch of discussions, Keep Chat to a Mnimum!!
assuming all street driving.

Only put

Best/Worst MPG:
Mods:

I usually average high 50s

Mods:
Exhaust and heavy right hand.

On Sunday, I got 47, a new high.
This is with my 2008 WR-250X.
Mods:
13/49 sprockets
FMF Q4 muffler
FMF Power Programmer with the original as-delivered settings
Airbox flapper gone
AIS removed

The worst was with the 2008 WR-250R I rode last year, which was in the mid to upper 30s.
Same mods, but with the addition of an FMF Powerbomb head pipe and the FMF programmer had richer settings.

Mid 50's normally....
HIGH = 73ish
LOW = 45

Mods:
DR.D Exhaust
FMF Programmer
12/43 Sprockets
K&N Air Filter
Airbox Flapper Mod

I get around 75 to 80 miles from full tank to fuel light. Not sure how this translates, as we're talking Imperial miles/gallons, as opposed to US measurements, & also, fuel is sold per litre in the UK, but distances measured in miles.

Ok well I mean poll so anyone who wanted to see it could just look at the poll results so they wouldnt have to sort through everything.

67 mpg average GPS corrected.
Stock gearing
FMF powercore 4
Well heck, just read my signature!
Rider weight 145
99% street riding
No flogging it, but not pampering it either.

Yeah my mileage is in Canuck gallons. I still get wicked mileage with that.

I get the same range out of my California bike (1.9 gallon tank). Puts mileage right around 50 MPG.

40 to 76 mpg, dependng, over the last 40k miles of wrr ownership. Usually 55-60mpg.

On my first two tanks on my new to me 2008 WRR I got 47 and 49 mpg according to the odometer. I was hoping for closer to 55-60 but oh well, I'll take it. I'm about 210 riding weight so maybe that decreases it some.

I range from 30-50. Usually low 40's. I flog the fuck out of it.

well!! going from the speedometer, I went 72.3 miles and it took .957 gallons to fill it all the way back up. If the mileage was true, that would be like 75 mpg!!! but knocking it down 5 miles which would be 7% error, it's still 70 mpg which isn't too shabby!

I believe the 7% error is only on the speed - not the distance.

Unless you've corrected your speed and you know you've thrown your distance off that much.

Were you using a gps for distance?

No GPS this time. The next time I'm out for a long run I'll check it against the odometer and report back.

On a resent trip totally on freeway at 75+ on the GPS the average was 47.2 for the near 1000 mile ride. Used mid-grade fuel and stock gearing (13/43). Not bad for the trip I thought. Berwyn

Nah, he's messing with you. In the metric system it's 5 liters per 100 kms!

I doubt the USA will ever go fully metric, due to its country of origin.

What's so fancy about either multiplying or dividing by 10? Too complicated?

I don't like math, not even a little bit. So not having to divide and multiply by 4, 8, 12, 16, 32, or 64 certainly works for me.

If you could ever drag me back to Imperial measures, (where a gallon isn't necessarily the same gallon, depending where you are) back to a system where the unit of measure was established by the length from the King's nose to his thumb, it would be in chains, kicking and screaming.

If you don't want to do maths, just move the dot left or right.

Didn't mean to derail the thread, I was just messing around, as he was. I am an engineer, I love the metric system, trust me. The general public may not use the metric system, but we sure use it in electrical engineering.

Back to mpg or kpl or whatever you want to post.

Running in my new R and have been sticking to below 60mph,
100 miles on 5 litres , on standard gearing.
I would be happy with 70 miles on 5 litres,
£1.40 a litre here in the UK , Robbing goverment.
