I'm getting about 37mpg, which seems low to me. I'm NOT riding particularly hard, and I'm not sitting in traffic for unusually long periods.

Added the Bell 100 to the wifes savage yesterday. It has a small delay reading wise, but that might be due to the fact I used a different magnet than what came with it. I left it at the factory settings of 2124, because the 19" setting was off by 10mph.

We shall see what happens with it, so far looks to be a good buy at $12 and easy install, wish I had some silver zip ties tho, wrapped around the fork leg looks kinda cheesy, but I think she will like not running too low on gas vrs knowing when she needs to fuel up.

Plus....I can keep track of her speeds....LOL Wink

Here's my avg economy, with prices paid per gallon. (I need to ride more, the number of miles ridden in the past year is pathetic) My max is 45-46mpg when I've been riding longer rides vs my average rides as described below...

Most my rides are to/from work which is less than 4 miles each way. Average day is to work, home for lunch, back to work, then home so maybe 16 miles per day in four short trips that don't exceed 35mph posted speed limit.

To set the Bell accurately, you need to measure the circumference of the front wheel. Easiest way I've found is to put a chalk mark on the tire and the pavement, then roll the bike forward until the chalk mark on the tire is a the bottom again. Measure distance between the two marks and convert to mili-meters.

The delay is not from the magnet difference. It's just that the bicycle computer does not need to update so quickly.. on a bicycle. It is still counting the revolutions just fine.

Just called "Mileage" by Evan Charlton I use it to track the mileage on all my vehicles. Has some nifty statistics screens too.

Dude, Ive got a Stage 1 cam, fatter jets & a Supertrapp w/ 14 disks & I am not scared of twisting the grip & I get 49 MPG in US gallons. My daughter gets 51. Imperial gallons are bigger. You get another 1.6+ pints. Youre rippin thru gas in a place where gas costs waaaay too much to waste, You should at least be getting 60 miles / Imperial Gallon,

OHHH, Wail,, I just saw LOndon TRaffic,, I have no idea how much youre putting along in 1st or 2nd, which isnt at all good for mileage.
Are there back roads that may be further to ride but less time crawling along?

I think you're probably right jog - having read the new o2 sensor tuning threads I think I need to swap around my jetting. Was just trying to convince myself otherwise.
Currently I've got the bigger pilots and smaller mains. The o2 thread implies the opposite might be ideal.
I've got an endless list of diy stuff at the moment but in a month or so I look forward to chasing 40mpg if I can

I do a lot of very short journeys and in central London traffic so I would expect to get probably the worst mpg on this site. Still, I'm up for improving as yep, we get stitched up over here on the fuel.
