[ST] What's *your* mileage?

[aronnmail-list@xxxxxxxxx]

This post prompted me to ask: what sort of mileage to
most of you folks get?  I picked up my '00 RS several
months ago, and the mileage seems to fluctuate between
about 38-43, averaging pretty much 40 mpg.  That seems
a bit low to me compared to other claims I've heard
(e.g., the quoted post), but on the other hand I'm a
tall (6' 5"), heavy (230 lbs.) guy (meaning more wind
resistance and more weight to shove around), and I
don't exactly ride at a slow or constant speed.

What's your experience?
