Slow down to save fuel. My numbers go up another 5-10% when I reduce my speed from 68 mph to 50 mph. Of course you have to keep up with the average of traffic but on the deserted back country roads the speed limits are only 55 mph and most people drive 50 mph where I am as it is still busy with driveways and dogs. One round trip to work in cold weather and one day of riding back roads at 50 mph with my daughter on her Ninja in 70F temps. The lower speed helps my FE number. Still playing with PnG with lighter throttle openings. 133.6 miles / 1.425 gallonsUS = 93.7 mpgUS
