I nearly quadrupled my FE!
 

Sorry for the slightly misleading title, but as a long-time lurker and infrequent poster, I thought I should brag a bit :thumbup: (although the title is actually accurate).

My Fuelly average for my Honda Accord was 21.7 MPG (US) until very recently. She started having problems with the tranny and electrics, so I had to get rid of her due to poor timing (moving across country within weeks of the issues)

So once I arrived at my destination, I picked up another Honda.

This time, a CBR250R single cylinder sportbike! I just did my first fillup and am happy to report a solid 78.4 MPG (US, 1.4 over EPA). Out of necessity, this is my daily driver, and once I get comfortable on it (this is my first bike, so I'm still learning) I should be reporting back with 80+ soon, and eventually some 100+ numbers. I know that the diminishing returns really kicks in at 60, I'm just going for some big numbers here. :D


I already have a +1 front sprocket that I plan to install. Advice, tips, and free beer are always welcome.

I'm glad you liked my write up.

I'm also now at 88 mpg on my most recent tank.

Сongrats! :thumbup:

CBR250R. Jack of all trades. I have 45,000 miles on mine and have been averaging 115 mpgUS all summer. 45F morning temps and running with the electrically heated clothing turned on will make my numbers a bit lower now but it is still a hoot to be out in the 65 mph commuting traffic with such high numbers.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Yamaha 250 for two years, then moved up to an 1100 for the commute. Big mistake. Mileage dropped to the 30-40 range for the commute. Then I got laid off and retired. Glad you're doing so well with your Honda!!
