    Ongoing check reveals 52.6mpg for yesterday/todays festivities.

    Cycle magazine's road testers got 53mpg when the bike was new.

    Lovin' it.

    Really smooth commute yesterday; ducked out early so I avoided most of the stop-n-go in the omnipresent construction zones.

    55.58mpg. So there's the 52~56 I was talking about. And the new R6 is rated at 43mpg.

    still tuning after a carb rehaul. i know it's running a bit rich, and i just got a working trip meter, so i don't have a clue what i've gotten for the past 2 years. 27mpg for the last 2 weeks. purely city driving--rarely above 50mph. and gunning it at stop lights every now and then to remind myself how much better it accelerates than my sentra.

    That's a bit low for a 550.
