[QUOTE="NTXFJR, post: 1333980, member: 88839"] Dayum 327 miles? You did good. In Colorado, we were headed for Lake City on one of the day trips we did, it's a one pump town without even a blinking light. My gauge started flashing at around 10 miles out, and it took 5.1 gallons to fill up, so I figured I had 50 to 60 miles left on that tank, assuming all of the 6.6 gallons are usable. Your fill up seems to say it is. Coming back home with cruise locked in at 85 mph, I was looking for gas every 200 miles with right at 41 mpg avg, my calculated average mpg's dropped from 51 mpg to 41 mpg during that travel. I sure wouldn't have wanted to go more than 250 miles on those tanks while wondering where the next fuel stop was. Ask Griff or Hud how low the mpg's can get on a fjr while going across Texas during a 50cc ride. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/grin.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
