I finished the Alberta 2000 on Saturday. It was a perfect opportunity to check out the mileage. I stopped at about 300 km intervals, (185 mi), and I found that if I held it to an indicated 110 kph I got 67 to 69 miles per imperial gallon, and if it was held at 120 kph it went 60 to 64 miles per imperial gallon . About half the normal trip luggage, and a 16 tooth front sprocket. I think that the cabin heater could use some work though. DC denvowell@... wrote:

Which is 53 to 55 mpg US at 68mph, and 48 to 51mpg at 81mph. Within the realm of reason, I suppose. I've gotten 50mpg when riding sedately without my side bags and paniers.

Might help a little by reducing frictional losses within the engine at those speeds.

What state, with what kind of gasoline? _E

64 miles per imperial gallon fills me with hope. 60+ miles per US gallon fills me alternately with disbelief and despair. Dave
