99 1.2 83
143 1.7 84

190 2.3 83
89 1.2 75 Gas purchased in Franklin, Ga.

164 2.2 75 Gas purchased in Williston Fl
132 2.1 63 Gas purchased west of Tallahassee Fl.
133 2.0 67 Gas purchased in Montgomery Al
190 3.2 59 Gas purchased in Huntsville, Al
136 1.9 72 Gas purchased in Elizabethtown Ky.
165 1.9 87 Gas purchased in Henryville, In. includes some mileage after I got home and rode back rodes with my neighbor on Sunday.
I am assuming road conditions, types of road (Montgomery to Huntsville was interstate, along with many miles of Interstate while I was in Florida, along with Elizabethtown, Ky to home), wind, heat, speed, TRAFFIC LIGHTS in all those small towns, and blends (quality of gas) was the cause of the wide discrepancies in mileage. Once I got back into the Ohio River Valley, my mileage began to increase again at highway speeds. A couple of spots in Florida I didn’t have paper and pen to write down my mileage and forgot the mileage
