[QUOTE="BigBlueF1, post: 1448799, member: 98226"] Hi all, me again. Today I was riding and noticed I only went 5 miles before one of the bars dissapeared on the gas gauge. Theres only 10 bars I believe. If Im only getting 5 miles per bar than that means Im only getting 8-10 miles per gallon? Only 60 miles on a full tank around town vs others getting 300. I know I got a little over 100 on a full tank on the highway as I rode it 300 plus miles when I bought it. I had to fill up around the 110 mile mark as it was getting low. I just bought the bike and everything seemed good on it and the owner seemed honest and took good care of the bike. Im worried now. One of the reasons for getting the bike was that its good on gas. Is it possoble the Power Commander is causing me to get terrible gas mileage? I am tapped out of money right now so I cant take it into a mechanic otherwise I would. Anyone ever seen this? [/QUOTE]
