Gas Milage



Hi there fellow STERS

I have just noticed that my 99 ST is getting an honest 50 MPG.  This
happened suddenly.  I changed my oil at 4500 miles, from a partial synthetic
(Motol) to a full synthetic (Motul300V)
The next tank was about 43mpg, which is what I had been getting.(40/43)  The
next tank was 49.25.  The next tank was 48 and some change, and for me to
get 50-I would have had to drive 6 more miles-which I think Big Red would
have done with no additional gas.                     Is everyone else
getting 50mpg?  Is the milage increase due to the synthetic oil?  Or is the
ST just getting broke in.  I had ridden it on a 150 Mile trip, speeds of
75/85
with a head /cross wind. Gassed up at the halfway point, and noticed the
49mpg.  The next tank was the 48mpg tank.
