[QUOTE="UselessPickles, post: 868239, member: 3256"] Re-read my initial post. That's pretty much exactly the approach I started with, but I used the data logger to target only specific RPM/throttle combinations used while cruising (so it's better than blindly leaning out 5-10% throttle). The problem is that some of these cruising areas are also passed through during light acceleration. Lean it out too much, and you get surging/hesitation while taking off from a light and cornering around an intersection - not fun! My figures were for [B]my[/B] typical daily riding only. I recently did a 190 mile day trip on on mostly 40-55mph back roads, a bit of freeway, and some suburban traffic. I averaged 48mpg on that trip. [/QUOTE]
