That 50mpg number is not a calculated number. Ask your buddy to calculate his average of 3 tanks to at least one decimal point. I can almost guarantee he'll see better than 55. My 1000 gets 54+.

Many Ninja 250 owners report 65+. To max the 250 change gearing and use hypermiling techniques. Your buddy could see 70+.
