Mileage can be effected by many things, tyre pressure, old air filter, bad air/fuel ratio and just hard riding.

Matt, is your bike leaking gas? Just wasn't sure if I understood the question correctly?

I was just wondering if the amount of gas (if I understand how everything works correctly) that is lost through evaporation in the carbs is worth turning the gas off overnight.
