Economical transportation

Filled the bike on the way home. 1978 Yamaha XS650 Special, dead stock except for a newly installed electronic ignition.

Last three tankfuls:

120 miles / 2.22 gallons = 54.05 MPG

123 miles / 2.1 gallons = 58.6 MPG.

103 miles / 1.08 gallons = 57.2 MPG.

Before the ignition,  I was getting 50 - 52 MPG.

I don't baby the machine, either. I bet I could get upwards on 65 MPG if I did.
