Default RE: Another MPG question!

I filled her up last night I should be needing gas tomorow
this time I'm on top of the miles so I will defenatly know by tomorrow what im getting precisely
but as for speed I don't go higher than 6k wether on city or highway unless I go on those carzy mood swings.(

I specially been doing what dizzie56 said keep in under 6k

and thanks hondacbr1000 I looked at the link but I don't know if that would be a good idea to have something there in the tank.
maybe my bike is all out of wack.

All right I finally did my Math right.
As it turns out keepin the bike below 6K made a difference
On city /hwy I did 125 miles on a 3.8 gallons this is roughly 33 mpg
if the light comes on when there is a gallon left I would then had another 33 mpg left
that would than give me a total of 158 on the five gallon tank.

Now are these results closer to what you guys have?

I think that 158 might be pushin it a lil bit but it could b close to that. All depends on where u ride and how u ride. If u keep it in a higher gear to keep the revs down and u dont stop and go much ur gonna get a higher mpg, plain and simple. If ur gettin over 110 before the light comes on id say that ur doin pretty good and probly shouldnt worry bout it. Now if i can only get that mpg outa my truck

hey they say life goes by 2 fast
the way I think about it is that you gotta keep up with the speed.
don't let it pass you.
......later
