#502415 BigBoi (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 138 Why is it 11 Months, 1 Week ago   that my Roadie burns much more gas when starting-up day after day or start after stop. If I take a nice day long ride without stopping and starting my mileage is much better. Is this normal??   Logged     Enjoy the fruits of your labor while theyre still ripe!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #502417 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 7947 Re:Why is it 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Long riding days usually involve a lot of steady-state throttle, and less stop and go/acceleration cycles, so yes, your mileage may vary. Our car gets 25-26 mpg in day to day, but if we put it on the highway all day long, it'll go to 32-32mpg.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #502420 BigBoi (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 138 Re:Why is it 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Makes sense... just wondering if there's something with my setup that could stand some changing.

I run about 42 MPG on commuting type miles, and 46 on easy road trips. If I go 80+ MPH (don't want to get run over on Texas Interstates, so ya gotta go with the flow!) I can drop down to about 36-37.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #502438 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata ! Platinum Boarder Posts: 6892 Re:Why is it 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Normal...if I stop n start mine all day...ride short distances... start it cold an hour or so later and ride some more, 3 or 4 times a day... im in the mid to high 30s. If I run straight all day.... mid 40s , .....50 or so interstate.   Logged     ...Scott   The administrator has disabled public write access. #502449 greyphart (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5786 Re:Why is it 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Helps explain the situation I'm experiencing lately.

If I were getting that kind of mileage I'd never complain... only getting 29-31 commuting miles and 35-37 highway. I think the gas here in So. Cal is garbage and contributing to my piss poor mileage too.   Logged     Enjoy the fruits of your labor while theyre still ripe!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #502452 BigBoi (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 138 Re:Why is it 11 Months, 1 Week ago   Blackroadie wrote: Same situation with the new Charger we just got..... wife gets 22-24 mpg.
