My Caddy (CTS) averages 15 mpg around town and was costing over $60 to fill with regular gas six months ago. I can't even put $10 worth of super in my Fat Bob right now. My best guess is about 30 to 35 mpg, and I tend to hit it pretty hard most of the time. But compared to 15 mpg I would be happy if the 'Bob got 25 mpg.

if i was worried about gas milage i would of bought a bicycle instead. i get about 5000-10000 miles per set of shoes. might get better as mileage if i tried using high tops, but might cause wind interference. jackyl

I wish the mileage was better so I had better range on a tank of gas

I realize you were joking. Its no the cost of gas, but a 6 gallon tank would be cool, IF they could keep the look

The Vespa I traded in routinely got 63mpg mixed between stop-n-go city and WFO highway riding. If I kept it mellow running backroads, I'd get upwards of 70mpg.

That being said, I don't give a rat's furry what kind of mileage I get with the 'Glide. It's more fun to ride.

Edit: I can't believe so many people are taking this post seriously.
