What's your latest gas mileage? - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

I just gassed up at Shell here in Richmond, Virginia.

2007 Shadow Aero 750.
Gas price = $3.89/gal
Odometer = 128.7 (still on main tank, not on reserve yet).
Gas filled to the bottom of vent tube = 2.57 gal
= = = = = = MATH = = = = = = =
50.07 mpg - combination city/highway driving.

Not too bad, if you ask me!

What's yours?

35 mpg in town 40 on HW at best. But, I've got some jetting/performance mods that I attribute it to.

I just filled up tonight.
The big V4 put out 45 mpg on this tank, mixed highway and city riding.

Used to get 52 regularly. Now I get 47. Think I need to check my air filter or something.
