Re: [St] Fuel economy

["Dan Wallander" <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The lowest I ever got in over 70,000 miles on my '99 ST was 38mpg and that 
was into a very stiff head wind.  I've toured the corn belt and seen a 
lesser mileage, but nothing in the lower 30's.  Of course, I don't commute 
on the bike and that might make a difference.

Normal mileage was always in excess of 45mpg, US miles and gallons.  Maybe 
the '03 with more HP is thirstier?  Maybe something not right with the tune.
