Re: gz250 mileage

Had a satisfying experience yesterday, fuel-wise.
I was riding home from work and noticed my odo was edging towards 300km. Based on experience this is just about when my main pickup runs dry. As luck would have it, I found myself in a long stop-and-go lineup for a 4-way stop, creeping uphill(!).
Dreading the thought of a stall in this situation I reached down and switched to reserve and eventually got through the intersection without incident. A minute later on the open road I switched back to main just to see how far I would get and it started coughing almost immediately! Got a good grin out of that!
