[QUOTE="UselessPickles, post: 868297, member: 3256"] I was [B]not[/B] getting defensive! :) Stupid text-based communication and it's inability to properly communicate tone... I guess I also didn't fully communicate what I was originally getting at (several distractions while writing the reply). I was intending to say something about comparing gas mileage between different riders is meaningless because of riding styles, types of roads, etc. And the "blindly" part was referring to you not actually knowing what throttle/RPM combinations you actually use while cruising, so you may have leaned out areas that aren't used for cruising and/or left areas rich that are actually used while cruising. I could share [B]my[/B] (yup; bold again) cruising throttle/rpm ranges, but just like MPG, it's dependent on personal riding preferences, altitude, etc. The green cells in the economy sheet are what I determined to be my cruising area: [URL="https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoRFAfW0n9qydGRQcWRURkJsVUxnYWNTQUc5UVJwVVE&hl=en_US#gid=0"]https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoRFAfW0n9qydGRQcWRURkJsVUxnYWNTQUc5UVJwVVE&hl=en_US#gid=0[/URL] [/QUOTE]
