They may not be. I have recorded three over-70 mpg tanks, and 13 over-60 mpg tanks not counting the over-70 ones. I have also recorded an under-40 mpg tank and 7 under-50 mpg tanks not counting the low one. Most tanks cluster in the 52 to 56 mpg range. According to Fuelly (in my signature block) my average is a little over 55 (I didn't exactly cite it, because it will change whenever I get the bike out and fuel it again). I could easily have checked any of the blocks in the poll by "cherry-picking" the one I wanted. Perhaps I, too, could be a proud member of the Liar's Club.
If you really care, you can click on the Fuelly logo in my signature block (or the one in several other signature blocks) and review each recorded mpg. You can also see what happened when I tried the "white spacer modification" and why I put the spacer back in. By the way, I have no idea what jets may be in my carburetor. The bike is box stock, purchased new from a local dealer. I have removed the cover over the pilot screw and played with the adjustment, but couldn't really notice any difference. My bike has never backfired on shut-down, and only backfires on deceleration infrequently.
