    The most I've ever put in the F6B is an even 6 gallons. I used to have an a Suzuki Intruder 1400 with a 3.4 gallon tank. I lost count how many times I put exactly 3.4 gallons in that bike. Somehow I only ran out of gas once and when I did I was only 1/4 mile away from the gas station.

    Actually, come the think of it, I ran out of gas twice. But the second time I was at the top of a big hill and the gas station was at the bottom so I just coasted in to the pump.

    Gallup, NM to Santa Rosa, NM: 6.446 gallons. 260.8 miles. 40.46 mpg. 74mph average moving speed.

    Santa Rosa, NM to Sweetwater, TX: 6.36 gallons. 247.7 miles. 38.95 mpg. 67mph average moving speed.

    It is 18 miles from the gas station in sweetwater to my house. I don't think I'd have made it without the fill-up. Attachment 17139

    You should have ordered one of those hot dogs at that station. It would have given you enough gas to get you the rest of the way home
