Are you in one of the areas where they use ethanol blend ONLY in the winter months ??
That might account for the small difference you are seeing.
Riding it just a little harder might account for some of the difference too.

I get about 65 in the summer, with ethanol, but I ride pretty much like an old fart........which I AM! :biggrin:
