You would have gotten 301 miles on that tank if you'd kept going.

I'd like having the 4.5 gal tank on my scoot. I get about 32 mpg in the city but get about 50 on the open road. The 4.5 would put me close to 180 on average for a tank.

Once or twice wont hurt anything but I believe it is lubricated by the fuel and if left empty long enough you will burn up the pump quicker.

I'm averaging about 35mpg w/ the 120R. It's thirsty and has a bit of a rich tune.

I did 250 miles on the 12 RG CVO last week. It took 5.1 gallons. The 110 has been running right at 50 mpg for the last three tanks.

My 12 RGC 103 does 53 mpg but I have never went past a half tank.

I run 55 on state and county roads which is the speed limit in Illinois in 6th gear and cruise on. The local roads are mostly flat. I do use 91 octane at a 66 station that has no alcohol and is on it's own hose.
