R U kidding? MPG in the toilet

[Spyder in La.]

Have you had the ECM updates done on your 2013 yet? :shocked:

I received the ECM software update last Friday, but the service tech couldn't explain the reason for the update other than it was the latest software...:dontknow:

Should I expect improved gas mileage? btw; the only experience I've ever had with low gas mileage (<29mpg ) was during a trip thru Amarrillo when we all purchased a tank of bad gas... The four of us were running on fumes less than 85miles down the road..:shocked:

I last filled on 2/23 in Casa Grande AZ. The best AZ offers is 91 octane. Since there is no winter down here I doubt they sell winter blends. Problem has to be majority of driving is 15-17 MPH in 1st gear of SE tranny.

As an example, odometer currently showing 46 miles and fuel gauge just hit 1/2 tank.:banghead:

:agree: It's not the bike; it's the speeds and gears, that are being used...

I dont know about your area but around here in the winter we get that oxygenated fuel and it kill mpg in most of the vehicles , imagine the bikes would have the same results .


sorry didnt see your above response, lower RPM , low speed riding is hard to do a MPG comparison
