696 mpg???

[Holden]

Bump.

110.4 miles/1.603 gallons to fill = 68.87 mpg.
All twisties and city.

Maybe it didn't fill up all the way... but it was exciting anyway. We'll see what I get on this tank.

[Mad Duc]

I'm in the upper 40's usually city/play, 60 or so highway @80mph. 68 mpg? You must weight nuthin'. I'm tubby. 

[sroberts152]

I was getting between 45 and 50.

Termi slip ons, Race ECU, 14 T front.  Mostly commute and freeway riding but it didn't change much when I went to the hills.

I have a bit of a heavy hand when leaving a stop - I wasn't bringing the tire up but I got it going pretty good.

I get a little worse on the 1100 - 41-44 now.  Stock gearing. Stock exhaust. I do more in the hills and twisties now.  I did get 53 when I just took a long ride into Santa Cruz and back. In commute traffic.  On a Friday night.

[z0mb1e_DUC]

also 45-50mpg.  I've got Termi/ECU & a 14T going.  No commute, just playin on the back roads.  Worst I've gotten was 40mph after a hard ride.

[zLoki]

Funny, I got high 60s when I first got her, it's been all downhill from then...  Half cored exhaust, 14t and 14k miles - I get high 30s to mid 40s

[Holden]

The weird thing is it started getting a lot better after I changed the exhaust (nothing else changed).

15t, 5k miles, LV GP exhaust, stock ECU, stock tires (33 max front, 36 max rear)

I'm underweight, but I ride it like I stole it. The only road I rode with that tank has a lot of very steep first gear corkscrews.

Watch me run out of gas after 80 miles on this next tank.

edit: yep... this phenomenon was from the pump shutting off prematurely.

I keep track of my MPG on my iphone with GasCubby just for reference and pretty much I get consistently 30.4 mpg on my 696 with fillups of $8.50-9 every time and 93+ Oct gas in city/commute driving. But when I was breaking in the engine and driving more conservatively I used to get 40-50 mpg of course shifting always before 6000 rpms...... Now I really dont care I just drive it how it wants to be ridden and just keep track of it for reference. Im interested in seeing the impact on gas consumption when I add the Termis....

These are my Gas Stats from GasCubby for my M696

Of course all of this info is based on my riding style, weight (skinny), my daily commute to work (no trips during this shown period) and the conditions/Gas Prices/traffic of the city I live in which is Miami, FL.

[DucatiTorrey]

my 696 is almost always exactly 45 mpg, and i check it every time pretty much, and im stock except termis and ecu. ive only seen her in 47 and 43 mpg a couple times, either long trips (higher) or thrashing her (lower)

[roggie]

im pretty sure im in the low 40s on average. i'll try to keep better track once i finally get back on the bike when the weather clears up... 

[jsd2]

I get between 45 and 50 with termis and 14t sprocket. I have 4000 miles on my 696. That's varied riding but almost no highway miles as I don't really ride on the highway much.  I run premium fuel.

i also wonder if location makes a difference... im in michigan

anyone know if removing your charcoal canister will effect mpg?

[Punx Clever]

Hell, I got 55-60 on my S2R for a while... but that was at 1 mile + elevation.  Location does matter... if only in the vertical sense

[Aflac]

When i first got my 1100s I was getting 55 - 58 mpg then I removed the charcoal canister and it dropped to 35-40 and I'm going wtf I'm putting the damn thing back on then I see I forgot to plug the line going to the TB's... DOH!

[Howie]

Removing the canister will not affect fuel economy.  Altitude does make a difference, E10 will reduce mileage, as will (obviously) traffic patterns.

did you just plug them with M5 screws or something? did you cut them short? mine are maybe 1/8th inch longer than what i think the wall thickness is, i need to take em out and grind them down.
