I'll tell you one thing...I don't know how they pulled those number out of their a$$, but I can't even come close to getting 200 miles per tank in SoCal! I ride 15 miles to and from work on the highway daily, and am barely getting 120 miles to a tank. I tried everything, upshifting at lower RPM (then I hear the engine bog down), installed a Power Commander III/USB and that didn't work either. I'm starting to get a bit...
