No reason to be disappointed. I just found it strange that the gas I bought (no too far from the TN border) has added over 30 miles to my tank as of now. I know I rode harder while up in North GA than I do on a day to day basis here. The only difference is the stop and go. I have even run a few tanks while "behaving" in the city and it did not make much difference, still got under 100 miles to the tank.

I am running a 2005 Bonnie, air guts removed, D&Ds with 130s and have just had my carbs tuned last weekend. Even after the tune, I ran out of gas well before 100 miles last week.

Not a big deal and if I am misinformed it won't be the last time. I just know how hard I rode in the mountains and on the highway back on the same friggin tank of gas that I am still running on at over 120 miles now. I personally hope it stays this way, I am stoked with over 40 miles to the gallon.
