Brozz 2019 and gas mileage
At 180 miles I topped off the tank and rode again to hit 336 miles for another fill up. I put 1.8gallons in to fill. By calculation that equals 86 miles a gallon! Is that crazy or what. I know the speedo is off a little in mph. But, even then this milage is phenomenal! I do by premium unleaded.

Any reason for paying extra coin and using "premium" fuel?
Just asking because I know most "Owners manuals" state the wrong fuel grade (AKI vs RON fuel octane ratings)... and I doubt that a low strung, carb'd, push rod motor, with around 9 to 1 compression ratio will ping or knock even on the cheapo 87 gas (or even as low as 85 octane if you live over 5,000 feet above sea level). I usually run our little Bashan 200 on 85 octane (6,000+ feet) and have yet to hear it ping or knock under any load I put it under

Always run NON-ethanol. Does not matter octane rating. Just keep the corn alcohol out of your system. That stuff eats your carb and anything rubber it touches. Ask me how I know.
