Manage to score a record in low fuel consumption yesterday - I got almost 73MPG on a 150 mile trip.
What's so great about it is that my GF was with me, we had the underseat and huge heavy 50l topcase filled with
spare clothes, rain gear, I brought my dSLR too etc. My big windscreen isn't helping things either (I actually lost some
of the top speed because of it) and at the 50-55mph average we were doing, the Dr Pulley sliders are making the engine
work at 5500 revs most of the time, while it would have been 4500-5000 on a stock setup.
Given all that stuff, I think that was an amazing fuel consumption figure, even if we were only doing 50-55mph on average.

Which fuel mileage app for Android are you using? Looks good..

App?
You're looking at Opera browser screenshot, and what's taking care of my
MPGs is in my signature line.

I only have two tanks so far on my bike but the first one was if I remember correctly 70.5 and the second was 71.5. Most of my mileage is at speeds above 40 mph, and the second tank was mostly 65mph +.
I think 75 is certainly doable if I would lay off the throttle.

I installed my top box & side boxes my milage droped from 300 km. to flashing light to 200 km. to flashing gas light,. I dont go far with all the boxes on, the next time I go on a trip, I will try just the top box,. de dee

That's pretty awesome! I hope it continues to improve for you.
On my 2007 People 250 (carbureated), I have been getting record mileage this summer. At just over 36,000km, it's running better than ever, and scoring between 66-74MPG pretty consistently since I started this job with the ~30-mile interstate commute. It seems to LOVE being pushed to ~90% of capacity for 30 minutes twice a day. :) There's a few miles that're not on the interstate, but I estimate about 23-24 miles of the ride is on the superslab, and the P250 seems to be loving it.
