Well I just got back from the first long ride of the season. I put 120 miles on after work today. Roketa ran like a champ. I had to fill up right before I left and right before I got home. First tank was 88 mpg, second was 92 mpg. I have no idea why the change in mileage this season. Last year I averaged between 70 and 75 mpg, this year in four tanks of fuel so far I have yet to get below 80??? The mileage is confirmed and ACCURATE and the only thing I have changed is the oil. I now run a straight 30 weight, I was running a 5w30 or 10w30. I am running the same roads, same driving style, and the same rider weight (if not a little more :? ) Whatever it is, I am loving it. Smiling all the way to the bank. Now if I could only get my lounge chair mounted on the bike some how................
