I get 12-14 mpg's no matter what. I have a 3 inch lift, running just 30's w/cold air intake and heart-throb exhaust. I am right at 130k miles. I used to get better, even after the size increase in tires... but one day....POOF! something happened. I gotta do something though, b/c the motorcycle will not be option once the temp drops another 30 degrees.

20-23 city, 27 highway. Healthy 4 banger with a cold air intake and lil' 12-gallon tank, costs me roughly $25 to fill up each time. Does 89 Octane fuel run hotter than 85?
