It may not be a surprise to most of you, but I have kept careful track of my data for each tank of gas since I bought my FZ almost 3 years ago
, and thought I'd share:
Tanks: 141
Octane: 87
Average fill up volume: 4.01 gal
Max fill up volume: 4.83 gal
Average miles before fill up: 180.87
Max miles before fill up: 224.20
Average miles per gallon: 45.17
Maximum miles per gallon: 52.87
Minimum miles per gallon: 38.92
Average miles when F trip triggered: 174.04
Average theoretical miles left when F trip triggered: 54.00 miles
Max miles on F trip: 42.3
Average gas price per gallon: $3.20 USD
Maximum gas price per gallon: $4.67 USD on 6/18/08
Minimum gas price per gallon: $1.72 USD on 12/12/08
It was surprising to me that my mileage didn't decrease after I added the 15T front sprocket. Before I added it on 5/16/09 my average mileage was 44.94 MPG. I had a similar result with my Cortech saddle bags and 2bros exhaust. I think most of the mileage improvement I've seen is due to riding habits.
Anyone else have data to share?
