Default Is this what most of you get on your C50?

176 miles is about the extent of the fuel on my C50. At that mileage going up a slight incline the engine started to sputter, I made it to a gas station that was close by. When the fuel warning lamp comes on and stays on you have 25 or so miles before you run out of gas. I was riding in western Maryland's mountainous area and that propably affected fuel mileage to some degree. I wanted to see how far it would go and my nearly running out of gas was planed. No,,, I wasn't alone and had help in case I needed it. Food for thought.
