So what's your highest?

[EarlyBird]

I used my gps and the amount of fuel I consumed to get my 52-55mpg when my bike was new. I was running 65-80 mph. But was easy on hte gas the whole time. On average a I get 39-42. City highway like my 02 1k!

On a average ride (that's 200 miles or just a little more) I usually get around 43 mpg, averaging between 60 to 70 mph.

 

[djsin]

before the new pipe I got 50 or more everywhere i whent, only time it would go down was if I was going over 55 mph now that I have a few mods I still get as high as 47 at times, but since I play alot harder now and have changed my rear sproket to +3 I usually am around 32-38 mpg

 

[MelodicMetalGod]

I won't know till I fill up next, but current tank looks to be 40 mpg or better.

 

[Hayabusa2005]

Kind of depends on how much I "goose" it! Generally average around 40-44mpg

 

[MET]

Once upon a time I hit 45mpg. I can get as low as 10mpg on high turbo. I average now in the 20's.

I managed 48 MPG once, but that was lotsa inerstate riding at or below 80 MPH. Maybe with Royal Purple, she'll hit 50 MPG...dunno...

To clarify, the mileage I reported was according to the automatic reading of the Busa dash instruments.

I'm lost here. How do you get fuel economy to automatically display on the dash instruments?

I always reset a trip meter when I fill the tank so I can calculate fuel efficiency the next time I fill up. I was not aware there was an automatic fuel effeciency calculator.

I didn't buy the 'busa for fuel effeciency either, though it is nice to feel smug as I blow past Prius drivers.

On a trip to Gatlinburg, I got 55 MPG on two different fill ups. I average to and from work with a little playing I average 42 MPG. I roade with a group of young riders a few times and got around 37 MPG.

K8 - Completely stock to include the reflectors (sorry guys).

If you press the lower button, just above the odometer, it will cycle through total miles (odometer), trip A (tripmeter), mileage on trip A, trip B, mileage on trip B. At least that's how I think it works on my 2007 model. Trip A,B, and the mpg calculators can all be reset by pressing and holding the button for a few seconds. Don't do this while riding!

 

[BusaWhipped]

Out onm the highway, about 70* with a tail wind, Luci'll get 50 mpg, on the dragon, 20-25 mpg, on the track 17 -20 mpg.

 

[lavinrac]

No clue what the best I have gotten... in my '05 I had it pegged out at 60mpg sinc eit wouldnt go any higher.. hammered on it for a little while before it finally started going under...

 

[kennym4]

doesn't the gauge only go up to 50 mpg ?

 

[Ft Campbell Busa]

I recently made a tread about my 400 mile trip the other week. I changed my tune on the PC to the regular suggested one for my setup and I got between 48-49mpg. I get much less with my normal "race" tune even on the highway. The kicker was that I run 16-42 gearing and my speedo is off but I did between 80-90 as indicated most of the trip. Very impressed with the mpg on the dynojet map. It is slower at the track on that map by 3mph!

 

[JGoodson]

Ive gotten abou 45 once but i average about 40 highway/city

 

[FrankPeden]

It would be easier for me to tell you how many miles I can go on a tank......lol. But then again I did not build my baby for mileage
