It had about a 3.5 gallon fuel tank and returned about 64 mpg. Most drivers are intolerant of people travelling at or below the posted speed limit.
Sadly so very true. Its the speed LIMIT, people! At least don't tailgate people going the speed limit, pass when you can and get over it.

64 mpg doesn't sound so great for a 125, but looking on fuelly that seems correct.
