With the gears completely maxed out at 19/29t, and the rear tire increased by one size from 130 70 12 to a 140 70 12, I did an mpg run on a fairly consistent road, doing between 25-40mph the majority of the ride (most was between 30-35mph), in 5th gear (3-4k rpm) with an occasional stoplight or two.

It was a 45 mile trip to, and 45 miles back.

The mpg recorded was 89mpg, and that was very stingy, as I filled up the tank with more than was in it in the last tank.

I'm happy to get over 80mpg on this thing, though the riding style doesn't accurately represent most of my rides.
The high mileage is mostly to thank for keeping the revs below 4500rpm.
Gas mileage goes down at around 5k rpm cruising (50 mph GPS) as this is wide open throttle.

Even with the significantly better padded seat and raises handlebars, I still managed to get sore shoulders and back.

I did the same ride on my Lifan Xpect, at an average of 5mph faster, and will see mpg numbers probably around next weekend.

Every now and then, just for poops and laughs, throw a pic in there. I sure as hell ain't reading all that crap.
