I know most of you say the gas millage on your savages runs about 60-65mpg on the highway which is awesome. I have been doing alot of round the town riding and have filled up twice in the last 5 days. I haven't yet done the math to figure out how much fuel I'm burning but i was wondering what the rest of you get around the town. Its only like 5$ to fill up, so its no big deal, but i would just like to know. thanks to everybody.

Average 50-55mpg dodging around town ... have gotten around 65+mpg out on the open road.

I have this wrist problem . . . .  about 45 mpg city.

Driving the Camaro in similar fashion got me 7 to 8 mpg, so I'm very happy with the mileage.

Last fillup was about $7.50 -- 2.5+ gallons at $2.979 for Arco regular.

Depends on the riding conditions.  On my FullMoon run, night of june 30:  Miles according to map program, not my odometer:

The 115 mile run from Gardena to North Palm Springs was all freeway, speeds mostly around 70-75, a few bursts to 80+, some slowing for congestion.   Less than 1.9 gallons to the brim, 61 mpg.

Next leg was 48 miles on the I-10 (65-70 mph), 58 miles thru the park (30-40 mph with several stops), 34 miles 2-lane highway (45-55 mph).  2.2 gallons for 63+MPG!

115 mile return to L.A. was against heavy (20+ mph) headwinds, 65-70 mph -- 52.5 MPG.  (the headwinds took a lot to push through!)

California gasoline has been reformulated for worse gas mileage.  (It's True!  And we pay $.40 or so more per gallon.)

To get 70+ mpg (u.s. gallons) try a steady 150 mile run at 35-40 mph in top gear.

FWIW, back in the mid '80's I rode from L.A. to Seatle and back on a GS450E.  Travelling on 2-lane roads at 45-50 mph got 80 mpg.

Two main things affect gas mileage -- speed, and wrist movement.  Keep the speed down to the ridiculous level and the wrist steady and 70+ mpg is no problem.

I could never get more than 55 MPG. I'm getting better results in the city. On the open road , I  am getting about 48 mpg.

I used to get much better mileage with the stock carb but with the Amal Mk2, I am now getting between 52 and 56 MPG when I ride at 45-55 MPH,  As I ride faster, mileage decreases to the worst case point of about 45 MPG by the time I hit 70 MPH.

Thanks perry for thinking of us.   As long as you label it as such, it won't be a problem.  I think the concern was of imperial gals vs US gals.  

I've had my 2005 S40 re-jetted, added a k&n filter and a sporty muffler and I'm still getting 60 mpg or better every time I check the milage.
