I normally run 50-55mpg with my bone-stock '03 Savage with mixed Riding conditions and a gentle throttle ... open road? Well the best I ever got was last summer on a 150km round trip of mostly 50-60kph open road Riding in very light to no traffic ... that time I got 70+mpg.
My last fillup was approx. 4.0 litres for 100km = 1.05USG for 62mi or 59mpg

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by arseholes!

I'm curious because there are cars now that do better MPG than I am doing on my 2002 LS.

I've been tracking my open road mileage and I get varying numbers between 46.6 and 51.2 MPG on my 2002 Savage after performing the half spacer mod and turning the covered mix screw out to 2 turns. Pipe is neutral to very slight gold tint (pipe takes a long time to change, most times it gets a cleaning before it develops).

What sort of post-mod open road mileage do the rest of you guys get? What color if any does your pipe develop?

City driving I get around 52 mpg. Road trips anywhere from 40-62 mpg.

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.
No spacer,60 pilot jet, 155 main jet, plug door, sportster muffler, k&n drop in, iridium plug, brake pedal mod,de-badged, Dunlops, bullet turn signals.
