That's great, my best is 44.6 my overall average is 38.2. I have 2011 RS-S and I check my sparkplugs around every 3,000 mile of use and look great.

That kind of mpg is "crazy generous". In over 23,500 miles on my '12 RT I've never seen anything close to your best, let alone your average...I'm jealous
.
This is what I did to my 2011 RS-S:
Better Gas Mileage
1. Check the front and rear wheel alignment and correct if not aligned.
2. Clean fuel system. I use Seafoam twice a year. In the fall and spring.
Stabilize gas that contains alcohol. I use Marine Stable,
at 1/2 oz. per 5 gallons of gas.
3. Use 89+ octane gas.
4. Tire pressure that are correct for your Spyder.
5. Synthetic motorcycle oil. I use Amsoil 10-40 sythetic motorcycle oil. There
are alot of brand names on the market to choose
from.
6. Air filter. I use a K&N air filter in my 2011 RS-S
7. A catch can. This is a filter to keep the dirty oil out of the air box
and the engine throttle bodies.
This is Bajaron's oil catch can setup.
1. Universal glass fuel filter. It does come with hose barb fittings but none were used. (to bulky)
2. Foam, Foam installed & the fuel filter & gasket that I removed from the fuel filter.
3. The new setup connected to the engine. (Be sure not to cut the vent hose to short.
easy fix if you would happen to though)
To sum it up, it is a very cheap & easy mod to keep the oil out of the air box.
My only consideration in the process that I didn't do was to take the nut ends of the filter to the grinder & make them round,
so the trip into the hose would be smoother, but I didn't & all went well. The below are how to pics.

8. Riding techniques.
1. When pulling out without traffic, get to speed by shifting at 5,000 rpm's.
2. When on highways run the rpms at 5,000 to 6,000 to maintane speed.
3. When on other road run the rpms above 4,500 to keep in the engines powerband.
4. When starting a cold engine, let it warm up for 1 or 2 minutes.
5. When ridding do not let your gas tank go below a 1/4 of a tank of gas.
When you get less that 2 gallons in the tank the gas will stat to evaporate at a high
rate and the gas/alcohol starts to separate. If the Spyder stopped and engine is hot the gas will
start to boil.
9. Spark plugs and wires. Use Iridium spark plugs and custom ignition wires, I got mine from BajRon and
they are high quality parts.
