I did! On the highway, a constant 60 would rip a consistent 35+mpg with no effort whatsoever, so it was good there...but in town if I drove like a "normal" person, that is, keeping up with traffic from the light and such, it got its EPA city estimate of ~21ishmpg. I fought for every one of the 7mpg I added on to that, though with keeping speed down to 40 rather than 50 I may have been able to see 30mpg at least.



Just got 51,41mpg on my bike
