    Today's mpg is 32.27 closing in on 600 mi. That includes lots of downshifting to avoid any lugging of engine for break in period. I expect better mpg as time passes.

    After 2,500 miles, I'm averaging 34.5 mpg per my "fuelly" app.

    I'm a bit heavy on the throttle so not bad. Maybe there'll be a bit of improvement after the upcoming service. I also have the Akrapovic silencer and that may effect it a bit.

    YMMV

    Have gotten 32 mpg now at 750 miles. Regular to heavy traffic. I have not figured out yet how the Eco button works out yet and how it may effect mpg. Have not been able to resist first off the line at stop lights yet, to much fun running thru the gears. F-3S E6

    My first fill on way to Spyderfest on the Freeway at 70mph was 39mpg. Been averaging 37 to 38 and its not broke in yet. We ran about 75mph all the way home. My wife got gas at two bars and I still had four. Going to be very fun ride.

    Sweet this is getting me more excited about the F3. The looks of the F3 are awesome and get better mileage than my truck.

    Default First Week

    Picked up the F3-SM6 last week.

    First tank - 4.4 gal at 160 miles = 36.3 mpg
    2nd tank - 5.5 gal at 200 miles = 36.3 mpg

    Rides are mostly running the ridges at 50-55 mph in 4th or 5th gear.
    Only had it in 6th gear a couple of times when I open up over 65.
    I'm betting that highway driving will be over 40 mpg.

    My previous 3 Spyders all improved mpg with greater miles. I am at 3100 now getting 36-37. I am going on 1400 mile trip wed and expect 37-38. By the way my 1330 RTL with 31000 miles is getting over 40mpg consistently

    My first 700mi. I averaged 31-33mpg. because of being a bit heavy on "the right hand grip". A ride this past weekend from Portland, OR. to the coast with another Spyder rider, I averaged 41.1mpg. Speed limit or under 99% of the 230mi.
