Gas mileage

[mhgoldwing]

06 Wing with '11 roadsmith. Around the Ark. twisties riding two-up I consistently get 37 mpg. On the highway fully loaded and two-up riding 65-75 mph mileage drops to 33/34.

I only use regular grade fuel as that is what the engine was designed to use.

I "might" be able to get that kind of mpg at higher altitudes. I have the 2005 w/2011 RS, so it comparable to yours.

"cheap stuff" Just the difference between the Premium and the lower end at the pump. Not MUCH cheaper but those pennies DO add up.....

h-m-m-m-m-m, must be reading wrong,,,,,,CHEAP STUFF???. Can't be talking about gas. What do you suppose he is buringing??? LOL

A little update.
Im running around with a gallon of gas in my trunk.
Im going to run it dry and see what I am really getting.
Odometer is at 150 miles and the fuel guage shows maybe an eight of a tank.
Im guesstimating Im in the upper 20s.......30mpg maybe.
So far no Low Fuel light???:xzqxz:
When does or is this supposed to come on??
2010 with MT kit.

Ok ran the trike dry today, but had a gallon of gas in the trunk.
177 miles, took 6.1 gallons.
Not great, not terrible.
Low fuel light comes on at a bit past the 1/8th line?? before empty.
Ran the trike for almost 30 miles on empty.
So I know I cant trust the gauge.

Filled to the tippy top and will do the same one more time.
750Lb bike wet??
300-400lb trike kit
Me at 220.
1300lbs?? total.
Daily commute 27 miles 35-65mph.

30mpg is liveable.

2010 GL with a CSC Cobra XL kit. I'm not an aggressive rider but I've been getting 38 mpgs regularly and up to 41 mpgs. I normally ride 60 to 65 mph. not much in town riding as we live in a rather rural area. I'm delighted with the mileage so far. Have now 8000 miles on my trike. No problems. We're at 3400 ft. elevation if that's a factor?

Mine is like every one else, low to mid 30s depending on wind speed and direction. Burn low octane fuel.
