Re: [ST] RS Fuel Consumption

This was HIGH speed travel, doing the "Atomic Tour" >averaging 90+ at
2500-6000 feet above sea level, but still, the mileage seems a bit low.

I just returned from long trip and got poor mileage on the fast parts of the
ride (90+ mph, some with fairly high winds).  I got between 40 and 44 mpg.
My nephew, on his 99 ST, got 40 mpg.  At lower speeds (50 - 70), I got 59
mpg on one tank.  It has to be the higher speed?  Wonder what others have
experienced?

| In the spirit of the Lord Culver's concern over his ST's fuel consumption,
I'd like to raise some questions about mine.  Now, mine has the current,
latest and greatest fuel sender, so that's not the problem.  thoughts?  No
gas smell or other indications of any leakage.  The ST and RS have the same
engine, the bike is stock w/ the latest tune as of February.  I can't
believe that the aerodynamic drag is that much greater for the RS.
