    many factors go into the very fragile MPG number.

    Its a good thing you got that problem identified and resolved, just in time for the final quarter before the new PFP program starts. Maybe we should all learn from this experience of yours CaptainX3. If there is anything that we feel may be wrong or affecting our mpg results, have a shop see if they can figure out why. May be something like this.

    Cool! Glad to hear that V! :biggrin_25525: I ended up with 6.87 for the first quarter. My worst quarter so far. It has been a long, cold, brutal quarter for my mpg results.

    Finished the quarter at 7.2+ Considering the area I've been running and the weather (windy and cold), that's respectable.

    Sarge you are the God of the tailwinds. Just start calling you tailwind. Not the the Golden child.

    Just call me headwind Harry.

    Finished the week with a average of 37 miles per gallon. That was on my Harley does that count. And I still have a lot of headwinds. LOL
