• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I am impressed with the mileage I got today. I use premium unleaded in my 2015 RTL. Two of us on bike and got little better then 37 MPG.:yes:

That's very good MPG! I consistently get 35 on my RT, but I ride very aggressively. On the highway doing 75-85mph on long trips I get considerably less because of the high revs. But I bought the Spyder for enjoyment, not for fuel efficiency, so I just say, "Ride On".

I recently had to apologize big time to my beloved Spyke because I thought her mileage sucked so badly that I almost asked about it in here. I was just tanking up all the time. But I decided I'd better do some official calculations before bothering the group, so I took notes every time I hit the pumps. Turns out, I'm getting 42 mpg. I ride solo on flat, secondary roads and, obviously, am not heavy on the throttle, but even so, I didn't think she was doing better than about 28. Gotta love our Spydies!
 
I average 37mpg on Cocaine. Whether Pebbles is riding with me, or if I am by myself. With my wife I have to ride slower on turns, which counter acts the additional weight. When by myself, I am pounding the hell out of the bike through the twisties. Less weight but faster. It all equals out for me.
 
I usually average around 30 mpg with my RS but i have a very heavy right wrist( as amatter of fact its very hard to type sometimes) but i was on a group ride with a friend and he is very smooth and steady and i averaged 35mpg and fuel light did not come on until 160 miles

its all about having fun and enjoying the ride
 
Okay; you left me the opening! :D

I normally get 33-35 ,but I got 39.1 on the last tank(best ever). I am in an area with lots of hills and valleys and I normally have some interstate running at 75 mph so I guess that is killing my mpg's. I hope to take it through eastern NC going to Wilmington,NC in a couple weeks, I'll see how mostly flat land profiles work and it is 55-60 mph the whole way.
 
My average for the last six tankfulls is 37.4 mpg. I drive fairly easy, 55-60, but my speedo regularly sees 3 digits in short drag-bursts. :doorag:
