It's a max of 50-55mpg at steady speeds. I use pulse and glide heavily and that is what helps the mpg. Tail winds are nice but my record tank of 75 mpg was trips back and forth to work. Tends to even out the wind. I tended to get harder head winds on the way home in the afternoon then I got helping me on the way to work ( winds are softer at 5am).
I like the overall goal of the project but
