Biggest problem - runs out too soon

Newbies, be sure to reset your trip odometer every time you fill up. You should hit reserve around 130-145 miles.
Right. When I'm going on nice, long rides I get 130-145. But in town I get maybe 100. I've been shocked at what a difference there is between in-town and country-cruising mileage. Course, I live in the urban core and spend a lot of time doing the stop-and-go thing, and my commute is really short so I spend as much time warming up the bike as riding it on my daily commute. Still, 100 miles to reserve is annoying.

I only have 1500 miles right now - I'm hoping that with more miles the mileage will get better in town.
