Guest ChicagoAJ Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Jump on the highway and cruise at 65mph in a tucked position. You'll get over 60mpg easily and probably 220 on a tank. My personal best calculated at the pump mpg was over 57, but that was the stock tune and putting around. @bmwpowere36m3 - is that premium gas 93 octane?! That's crazy cheap. Pretty sure its 91 octane, but I fill with 87 anyway. For the most part 87, 89 and 91 octane is available in CT. Some have 93 octane instead of 91 and some have both. This is a Citgo near me... its E10 (regardless of octane), they have HUGE turnaround and generally the lowest price in the area. Fuel is always fresh due to volume and I haven't had any issues running it in all my vehicles. I try to fill up there when I can. Yeah, gas has been pretty cheap this past year. I remember when it hit $5+ a gallon for 89/91 about 2 years ago, IIRC. I remember that gas spike as well. Back when I had a 2013 WRX modded like crazy, only got 12mpg on 93 octane and the worst price I ever put in was $5.73 a gallon. That's when I dumped that car and got my nice, frugal Prius C and started up the motorcycle hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he installed them yet or not, though. I installed them, but hadn't had a chance to ride it yet because the bike is still down. The last of the parts I have coming shipped today, so hopefully I'll do some more wrenching this weekend, and finish it up when the parts get here next week. - Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlstaj Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 http://imgur.com/a/Y1LsX F-Trip 47.8 miles. I was late for work and forgot that I ran through all my gas last night. I remember I saw this forum before and thought screw it, Either die great or live for nothing. I made it to work on time and after my shift imminently went to the shell down the the block. Remembered to snap a pic for proof. Sorry everyone for the quality. Would have another mileage photo for better proof but I reset mt Trip 1 when I was trying to adjust my clock.

Global Moderator sorkyah Posted November 5, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted November 5, 2016 Everybody who's sputtering is only getting 3.4 gallons in. .3 gallons are un useable in the tank.You have to be very steady/light with the throttle to run the tank completely dry... even then, i believe the pump pickup is about an inch above the bottom of the tank to prevent debris from getting sucked in ATGATT...
