Once upon a time, I changed the oil in a CB350 Honda motorcycle to Mobil 1 synthetic. Mileage increased from 87 MPG up to 103 MPG at 30 MPH and 60 MPG up to 63 MPG at 60 MPH, with similar improvements at 40 and 50 MPH. At first I thought I was on to something, then I realized that I had got better at holding the throttle constant.
Key conclusions: The carbureted 350 Honda really responds to DWL. And ABA testing is important. And getting better at DWL allows running in top gear at lower speeds.
