Smile 31.5 MPG and loving it

Took Ginger out for a ride yesterday to HotDog Johnnys in NJ and traveling 65 to 80 mph got a reading of 31.5 not bad at all plus the ride was smooth and quite and a good looker. Filled up with gas in NJ and was only 2.95 .41 less then here in Pa. Whats up with that? Did I say only 2.95 seems cheap now but I remember when it was.70 seem so long ago anyway this is one GREAT CAR.

I have been getting approx 30.5 my last couple of fill ups which is pretty good considering winter gas blends and still fairly cold temps (teens in the morning)...if I draft with 3 or 4 cars on the highway during my 100 miles per day r/t commute the mpg does much better than running solo pushing this brick thru the air.

I'm expecting 32-33(and the occasional 35-37) mpg once temps get warmer and summer gas blends are back. Then again I'll more than likely be riding the CBR F4i almost every day and that will REALLY save on gas

I've been getting 30.5mpg in mostly below freezing weather. I feel sorry for whoever bought my lifted, big tired 13mpg Dodge.
