flb_78 Posted September 26, 2009 #1 Posted September 26, 2009 Presently, Im commuting 128 miles a day. I was wondering, how much did your gas mileage improve after the conversion? Im thinking about it if it'll allow me to ride 1 day without having to stop for gas.
Freebird Posted September 26, 2009 #2 Posted September 26, 2009 Are you commuting 128 miles one way or round trip? If round trip, are you saying that you can't do 128 miles on a tank of gas? Sure seems low.
flb_78 Posted September 26, 2009 Author #3 Posted September 26, 2009 128 miles round trip, but I have to get gas everyday, right at 4 gallons. I'd like to be able to ride 2 days before I need to get gas.
yamahamer Posted September 26, 2009 #4 Posted September 26, 2009 I havn't checked it since the change. I don't see it making a big differnce only loosing 40lbs. I average 40 to 45 mpg on my bike. On long back road trips 50 mpg.
flb_78 Posted September 26, 2009 Author #5 Posted September 26, 2009 I was thinking that between the weight savings and the aerodynamic change that the mileage would go up some. The truck catches a lot of air according to the dead bugs stuck to it.
