MR Gas Mileage

I usually get ~24mpg with an IX MR. My commute is very MPG friendly- almost all highway with no stop and go and only a few traffic lights. And I'm sure I drive very conservatively for an Evo owner- not WOT every chance I get and not 85mph.
And like others have said, you really need to talk MPG not miles/tank. It's 3rd grade math... But if you're weak on math skills, LOL, I can get 300+ miles/tank.

Maybe I need a retune but I did a test last week on my MR and I am NO WHERE NEAR 300 miles per tank! I hit the trip odometer at full tank and when the gas light came on I was at like 240 mi. I stayed off boost the entire time. Driving a little crazy and staying on boost a lot netted me 26 miles less per tank and it was a lot more fun! I do usually roll at about 70-75 on the highway though. Maybe I should drop down to 60?

Speaking of awesome mileage, I might actually buy one of those Yamaha scooters. I know they're kind of gay, but I rode my boss's scooter (he has five bikes total, some cruisers, some crotchrockets and a scooter) and it's not too bad... plus it's very inexpensive and gets over 100 mpg, even with his 260+ lb., 6'5" *** on it.
