127 miles on the 250 Rebel today, some high speed Interstate in very heavy congestion.
Got home and topped the tank up with the last of my 5 gallon gas can. Right at 400 miles on 5 gallons for 80 MPG and 400 miles on $17 or $.0425 per mile on the bike.

Had a chance to check mileage in the Altima on a deserted road at different speeds using cruise control.

55 MPH=39 MPG
50 MPH=44 MPG
45 MPH=48 MPG
40 MPH=50 MPG
35 MPH=47 MPG

At speeds below 35 MPH I can P&G (engine on) and hit 55-60 MPG
Still want to test various rates of acceleration and coasting to see which rate of acceleration is best for average MPG, to minimise mileage losses when forced stops are encountered.

regards
