I have a 2005 GZ I rode yesterday 126 miles and filled up and the gas price went even lower today.

It was $3.129 the day before NOW its $3.079/ gal!

There are 6 pumps at this station and there are people waiting all around in line.

Other stations nearby are $3.27 or $3.30's in Franklin, VA In Chesapeake its 3.30-3.40's and VA beach its much higher.

I'm at around 9,100 miles and I get 60 mpg riding 60-65mph highway and 16 tooth sprocket.

I stay in 5th gear too unless I need to accelerate quicker.

Been thinking of trying a 15 tooth sprocket again, but I KNOW the gas mileage will suffer.

I'm heavy at 250 pounds and 6' 3'' and best gas mileage I got was 65mpg. Worst was 51 mpg in heavy traffic riding 60 miles and in a 4 miles stretch it took 25 minutes.
