• 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.

What’s your average MPG using what Octane Fuel?

I could not tell a difference in mileage or performance after the cat delete, but i could tell a difference in heat.

The short answer to a long story is, no. The machine's operator determines the MPG. And yes, the cat delete will reduce heat build up.

There is no real good reason to run high test, unless your one of these guys that like to mess with your ECU!!:dontknow: the bike will run just fine and your smiles for miles will go up in your bank account!

I'm thinking of switching to miles per dollar ...
 
I’m wondering why everyone is so anxious about MPG.....I mean, Why Did You Buy Your Spyder in the first place? Was it because it got such good MPG? or was it to RIDE. If you’re so worried about MPG then get a battery powered unit. No gallons to worry about. Of course then you can worry about MPC (miles per charge). I guess what I’m saying is “IT’S A PART OF DOING BUSINESS”.

To quote Peter “RIDE MORE, WORRY LESS”! Very sound advice.

Personally, I am concerned about mpg only on longer trips in the southwest. Certainly cost has become a factor, but mostly it's about being able to plan fuel stops.

I think the original intent of the thread has been lost. I think the OP was trying to find out if there is any correlation between octane rating and mileage (I don't think there is, based on earlier discussions) to justify the higher cost.

I agree with you up to a point, but whether you get 35 mpg or 33 mpg is not really the issue. What you are really concerned about is if yo can make the next fuel station, or should you fill up now, take extra fuel with you or plan another alternative. I also keep track of mine, but only as an indication of the health of my engine. There are just too many variables for me to compare, and that’s what the majority of posters are doing, my mpg results with yours....they’re going to be DIFFERENT!

I’ll get off my soapbox now!
