82 mpg!!!

So here a few weeks ago I swapped out the front sprocket on my
CRF230L from a 13T front sprocket to a 15T front sprocket.
Made a huge difference. More " treatable " as they say.
What I did NOT expect was the 10+ MPG gain in fuel economy.
I run the numbers 3 times.
78 miles driven, 0.95 gal put back in. that was full to the bottom rim
of the filler neck. Exact same place I always stop it at.
Even if I could have squeezed that last 0.05 gal in there, that still would have
been 78 MPG, still way up from what it had been prior to sprocket change!
