I'm just over 50 mpg, and I'm pretty disappointed. I knew it wouldn't be as good as my Virago, which was right around 80, but this is far enough from advertised that I'm thinking something might be wrong.

I use it almost solely for commuting, most of the trip right at 60 mph with just a bit of stop and go at each end. I just went over 1100 miles and will be switching to synthetic at the next oil change, but I doubt that will buy me more than 1-2 MPG.
