Observation: I can get better fuel mileage riding two up, uphill and down on country and mountain roads for an hour or two (38-39 mpg) than I can running back and forth to work each way about 15 minutes one way (26-27 mpg).
I wonder if the temperature sensor isn't making good contact? I can't explain the poorer fuel mileage otherwise. Is it really needing to run that rich at cooler engine temp? My old carbeurated bikes run well without a choke after 2-3 miles, and get 52-57 mpg running on trips.
Do you ever get the feeling Progress ain't all it's cracked up to be?? (Don't get me started on "Hope and Change...")
