I generally get 39 mpg on my 2004 speedmaster no matter what kind of driving I do. I use premium gas (92 octain) and try to buy Shell or second choice is Amoco/Exon. I use Seafoam every two or three tanks (2 oz per gallon) and lube my chain about every 4-500 miles, right after a ride, so it soaks in over night. I use a little 2.5 ton floor jack under the frame right in front of the rear tire and lift the rear a hair off the ground so I can turn it. I mark a spot on the tire with white chalk so I know when I have made a complete revolution and oil from the inside of the chair so when I ride next, centrifical force causes the chain lube to move through the chain from inside to outside both lubing the chair and pushing the dirt and old lube out.
When you check your mpg, always start with a full tank and then when you refill, that is the amount you used, not the size of the tank. Miles divided by amount used= MPG.
