That no eth will make a difference. Unfortunately they only carry the premium no-eth here now in the summer months. We have 87 octane no eth year round.

My 2014 has proven to be VERY temp dependent for mpgs. Riding in the high 30's, low 40f's drops it down from 39-49 to 31-34 on the same work commute. Could be because it has an alternator and I'm rocking electric jacket, gloves, seat, grips....

Also experienced similar on the last couple tanks of gas. The mileage just zoomed down to the low 30's when the temperatures dropped below 35 degrees.

The mileage drops, because the throttle bodies are delivering a richer, denser charge! :thumbup:

I believe the Spyder has an O2 sensor. That is an indicator that the fuel/air ratio is under closed loop computer control. Cold air is more dense and the charge will be too. However, I doubt if the mix ratio will vary much with temperature.
