I've been noticing an increase in fuel mileage over the last few tanks - I've gone from 40 to 45 MPG. :eek: Seems to coincide with Fachactafornia's recent dropping of MTBE as an additive... Anyone else notice this? How about you guys in AZ? I heard they were to dropping it too.

Either that or you're a recent graduate of the new riding school I've been hearing about: 'ScooterG's minimal approach to throttle usage in an effort to extend tire life' :D

 
Did you have an astral burp?? Maybe that propelled you forward while saving your engine some effort?

Oh, no... It ain't that. Me and Ms. Mulhulland conspired to use up a lot of Mr. Michelin today. Young punks on their GSX-R's and R1's... chillren gotsta learn their place, ya know! ;)

Interesting. I too have noticed an increase in fuel mileage. About 3-4 mpg. I attributed it too the switch from winter blend gasolines, to summer blends. I believe I have noticed the same thing in the past. However, that is just SWAGing.

 
Still finding your Gandhi disturbing (which probably thrills you)....so is this it for Barney?...or will he get a reprieve???? :huh:

Ditto.

I switched his avatar to a more appropriate one, but he didn't like it and changed it back.

The ******.
