Seriously.... congrats...
I feel sorry for those Harley Hog owners who can't get better mileage than I do.

HeHe, I had a 1965 Honda Cub 50 that did 170 MPG on the original engine and carburetor. I used an empty quart oil container to measure the consumption which was significantly less than 1 ounce per mile (128 MPG) Riding that down the side of a 55-45 MPH road with no pavement to the right of the travel lanes was a little to risky for me. I think it would actually do about 42 MPH.
Same bike as the "You meet the nicest people on a Honda bike" advertisements of the early 1960"s when Honda first started inporting them into the US.
That consumption today would be about 1.2 cents a mile, almost the same that 33 MPG cost 50 years ago when I was in high school (grad 1968).
