A new PB for me.

Today I got 2.45L/100km (96mpg) when I filled up. This is better than when I got the bike when it was stock!
I'm expecting fuel economy to suffer when I go back to sliders, which used to be as high as 2.8L/100km (84mpg).

2.45 l/100km isn't 96mpg, its 115.3

That must be UK MPG? I was using US MPG. Neither of them are native to me though. Some people use km/L down here, too.
I don't know if that's good economy outright, but I think its good for my height/weight and the hilly area I live in.
I think Honda Australia quote 2.5L/100km with the current LED model PCX150. So I'm happy with my last tank.

I routinely get over a 100 mph (US), but I'm a lightweight and also tend never to go faster than 50. Lately I"ve gotten impatient and have been hitting the 50 and above mark more often. I will see how that tells at the pump.
