Seaking Posted September 15, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 15, 2009 My 2006 Midnight Venture just turned over 50,000 miles on this recent road trip and I experienced the BEST gas mileage ever on a tank of gas!! wow.. I road for close to 150 miles before pulling over for fuel at a regular fuel stop and pumped in 12 litres of fuel.. 56.8 MPG Imperial and 47.3 MPG US 70 mph in 5th with all tail winds made a huge diff.. Big beautiful day, 5 hours of traveling to do and I just decided to roll softly.. and was surprised at the mileage.. albeit boring After that fuel stop I slammed it in 4th and rolled with the fast traffic to get home the rest of way hehe.. amazing.. the fuel mileage was significantly worse on the last leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brake Pad Posted September 15, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2009 I found I got the best milage, when climbing the hills of NC & SC. as soon as i hit the flat lands again, the milage went from 48 to 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing the mountains in NH got me good mileage as well.. but generally speaking, anytime I get headwinds, I know I will get shyte mileage.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
