New PR for Low& SLow... 127.9 mpg

I fueled up today to see how my lastest adjustments to my streamlined Ninja 250 were doing : 138.2 miles/108 gal.= 127.9 mpg
I used my normal filling procedure so I'm optinistic that this is not a short fill fluke.We'll see. Still, I'm pretty suprised , but Ill take it

The nice thing about filling a motorcycle is that you are looking right at the fuel.
I sit on the bike holding it level and fill until the fuel just washes over the fill plate. I was being especially careful today and took note that each bump of the pump at the end is only about .003 gallons. I'm sure my error is less than .01 gallons which would be less than 2% in a worst case, overfill-underfill situation

My windscreen prevents me from looking inside the fillcap my procedure is to put the bike onits centerstand , put the nozzle ( vapor-recovery type ) all the way in, fill until it stops, wait a few seconds and give a last shot til it stuts off.
Great job with your PR at the Green Grand Prix!
