Firestorm MPG

[motorola222]

hi guys hope all is well

i keep reading on this forum about how people are only gettin 30-35mpg out of there storms the lowest iv had so far is 39.

am i missing something. i usually get 42-44mpg. which i think is excellent although i know for a bike its quite poor. but then i didnt come from a subaru impreza turbo that drank fuel for fun and thought 22mpg was my favourite site on the dash.

what do u guys think.

i seem to be getting 35-38 most of the time, dont know how much difference weight makes,

Might be I'm 22 stone though surely I'm a struggle for it

No, can't get more than 30.
There has to be a mathematical correlation between flies per sq inch of visor and MPG.

I am getting around 32-35 mpg, but that is down to how far I twist the loud grip.

+1 (when I had mine... )

Unless I was on a really steady Mway run. Then I might get 31
