i dont know how you averaged 74 mph treder, especially on a long journey. when i use to drive the STR, when i was drivin 90 it felt like i was only goin about 60. when i hit 140 it felt like 90. i dont think my STR ever go 400 miles on a tank, let alone 300, even when i drove like a "lady" as big likes to put it lol

I'm getting about 16-17 city ( mix of easy driving plus getting on it some) and around 25+ highway, going to my river house ( mostly 2 lane country roads ) i easily average 27-28, even with opening it up to pass some...fuel and air filters are def. a big thing to watch!

well that 27+ figure is with the cruise set around 69 mostly (60mph limit), i only fill it up now and then or if im driving long distances... i believe mixed 50/50 driving on a full tank i got around 330 miles? and maybe all highway (interstates only) around 450 or so?

I'm only getting 220 miles per tank in town driving easy! I am resetting my trip : A : every time that I fill up and checking it when the low fuel light comes on. I am usually putting in about 15.5 gal.

Yeah the highest I read on my R was 26mpg, but it decreased once I got off the highway so it averaged out to 18mpg.

In case you'all don't watch the new posts in the 'OFF Topic' section, you are welcome to add your 'data' to my gas mileage thread I started here. Stop being so clickesh with just you s-typers.   Share the wealth.

I also started a 2007 maintenance cost/description post that summarizes your '07 outlays.
