I've only checked mine once...it was 88 mpg.

I should get a chance to check it again before too long, and I'll have the gps to verify speed and distance. I might also have my smaller rear sprocket installed then too, which will make a difference.


I was thinking maybe some of the claims are a mix up between miles and km....but I'm just guessing. My speedo is mph, but the odo is km...so I had to convert before I did my math.


One other note about my 88 mpg....the clip on my needle is at the top (I think that's right) and allows the least amount of fuel flow possible through the carb. Any carbs with the clip further down the needle will be burning more fuel, I would think.
