Anybody squeeze 300 miles....
Out of a 6 gallon tank? I got 286 this weekend before i fueled up. 50.1 mpg, pretty happy about that.

I comfortably get 228 out of my 5 gallon tank after installing the V&H FuelPak.

yes, I've done it. If I only ride to and from work, which are speeds around 80 to 100 km/hr I get the best mileage and can get 500 km on a tank (300 mi). But if I take it on the highway or out on the weekend, I open it up a bit and milage drops to the 400 range.
On a side note. I've always wondered. Does it hurt the fuel pump to run it dry? I would think it does so i try to not run out ever.

Wow, I'm lucky if I get 280km (yes, kilometers!) out of my 5 gallon tank on a good long touring day without many stops, here in Japan. I could probably get 300 if I run it dry on a non-stop toll-way. That means I'm gettin about 35 mi/gal. I'm okay with that. Still better than most cars.
