95.3 mpg with hills

The last 7 fillups I have gotten 95.3 mpg on my 40 to 65+ mph commute with hills and some stop and go.

Here are my averages:
93.6 mpg - my old commute to Norwalk CT (highway, 20% stop & go)
87.9 mpg - Commute to Somers NY (hills, slower 2 lane roads 45-65 mph, some highway 60-65mph, 30% stop & go)
89.2 mpg - Commute to Somers NY after some eco mods
96.7 mpg - 7/17/11 -One time record I95 constant 55-60 mph
95.3 mpg - 8/17/11 -last 7 fill ups Commute to Somers NY - tire pressure higher at 38F/39R, cargo box taller 21"H - 8/11/11 new chain, modified exhaust, cargo box removed, a little lighter traffic.

"beatr911: What kind of MPG numbers do you get at a more normal flow of traffic speed of 60-65?"
When my Virago 250 was closer to stock about 92 to 94 mpg.
Now with a few mods about 96 to over 100 mpg.

Some other Virago 250 owners have gotten over 100 mpg.
