45 mpg now common....thanks to...Mobil 1?

As I have written elsewhere, any sustained cruising above 3150 RPMs will cause MPGs to decrease.
If you keep it between 1800-3000, you'll get great mileage.
I'm routinely between 3300 and 4000 while interstate cruising.

Anyway, yeah, it CAN be done, but it's all in the wrist and the mission.
Cheers,

I average pretty much 40. If I push the speed limit on the interstate too much it drops into the upper 30's. A nice ride off the interstate it will be low to mid 40's. I have the Honda tall windshield and wonder if a that causes a little less mpg's.

I'm like Opas Ride. I could care less about miles per gallon. I am constantly hammering the throttle on every corner exit I possibly can. (Sometimes, a cager slows me down in the corners). I did 416 miles today, and have no idea what milage I got, I just know I had a blast, riding the bluffs along the Mississippi river, and south central Wisconsin. Great roads, just have to watch for an occasional John Deere on the back roads!
