And I'm getting lighter with every trip practically. It seems as if I'm shedding molecules.

Is your FE improvement a result of the addition weight of the centrifugal rollers? Or are other conditions changed ?

I think I'm seeing a partial result of the seasonal shift, (temperatures have been warmer, which should result in greater FE), but the "Ratio Rut's" if you will, seem to have shifted, resulting in slightly higher speeds for a given RPM.

To compound the confusion, I'm also experimenting with hyper-inflation of my tires, as well as my riding/engine killing technique.

And still higher goes my bar. Which is strange because traffic has been full of outright morons incapable of driving smothered in poorly timed lights, dashed with 2 days of FE-robbing cold mornings.

But on an up note, my rear tire, which was almost gone as it was, picked up a screw, thus forcing me to replace it. I had already ordered and received it's replacement, so that was merely an hour's inconvenience.

And a question. Would a failed suspension have any major impact on FE? One of my forks started leaking 2 years ago, and I'm only now getting around to changing it, (along with the front tire which needs a fork stuck in it because it is DONE).
