Yup, it sounds perfectly credible to me. Maybe because I'm used to hypermilers, or I'm used to my own 650: lifetime average is 76.76mpgUS, which includes pretty much 2-up riding last year, I have several 90+mpg tanks with her and one 98.9 - I could never exceed 100, but it's not impossible - just not easy
