[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1074110, member: 20946"] First, I would ask, exactly how are you determining your gas mileage? Using the bike's mpg tally or your own calculator? What kind of mileage were you getting before? Is this a recent thing? Second, I'd ask how does the engine seem to run? Your mileage is down something like 25 percent. Does the power seem to be down 25 percent as well? Is it missing, idling rough, etc.?? I know that a higher percentage of ethanol produces LESS power and fewer miles per gallon, but wow. You'd think that if it were increased ethanol causing the problem, folks would have been notified. I believe most of the country using 10% ethanol. I get 40-42 mpg with my Gen1, and my numbers are on the low side of the FJR range reported on this forum. Hope that helps Gary darksider #44 [/QUOTE]
