[QUOTE="smithe68, post: 1074144, member: 27336"] I calculate my fuel economy myself, the built in computers on vehicles are ok for a spot check but I have never found them to be really that accurate. Lowest fuel economy prior to this tank was 41 mpg. Everything else seems fine, plenty of power all around, running smoothly, etc. I was talking this over with a couple of riding buddies after work, all with different types of motorcycles, all have reported similar issues with their bikes. From one of them, "I never thought much about it, but I've had problems with the wing as well. For that reason if I do fill on base I put in 3 ounces of Lucas Fuel treatment (and it works wonderful)." Oddly enough, none of us can remember a time where it had an affect on our cars though.
