Re: [ST] Gas milage

[Andrew Bell <abell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a 2000 St also, with a 19 tooth sprocket I was averaging about 170 
miles until low fuel light when commuting. When doing straight high speed 
slabbing I got around 220 miles until low fuel light. I just changed to a 
17 tooth sprocket and it looks like I've lost maybe 2~5 miles per gallon 
commuting. Although after this weekend I'll have hard numbers on how it 
affected my touring mileage.

CYA,
