With the new sprocket, I rode from Miami to Pompano Beach via US1, on my MC-05-127, mainly 40-55MPH roads, and got some good gasmileage there, of about 104MPG. I did the trip again, and basically in a matter of a few days did 3 fuelups, so the fuel isn't rotting before I actually use it. On my way back I rode on the A1A, which is mainly 35-40MPH roads, and the gas mileage I got there is out of this world! From 108-118MPG!! That's better gas mileage than my ATM50, better acceleration, AND better top speed, and that for only $200 more than what my ATM50 costed me! The manual gears help with ~10MPG over a CVT, but the way I rode the bike was very gently, with some peaks of 60MPH riding, but not many. I have to say on the A1A was almost no stop light, so that helps too. The last fuelup is an estimation according to the current fuel meter readout and the odo meter. www.fuelly.com/driver/prodigit/mc05127?fu=4961853

How far did you run the fuel gauge down to ? Wjen my scoot was stock at fillup and running at lower speeds i would travel about 60 miles and my fuel gauge would only move about 1/4 empty . And if i went by that reading i would be getting about 120 mpg . Lol as the fuel passed certain points in the tank yhe auge will drop much faster. I guess its just like a lot of cars also , they have certain points where it seems s if the gauge haseny moved at all . Even now i can go 30 miles on a full tank at low speeds lets say 45 mph and the gauge barely moves. But onvce it gets past a crtain point it moves down pretty quick. It seems to do this twards the end of the tank also. Its always good to run the tank almost empty to get an accurate reading on mpg. Or do an accurate reading on how much fuel you add after a certain mile trip. Also make sure u have an accurate speedo odometer .

I measure by totally topping off the tank. I've got a digital fuel meter, but know when the first led goes out, 50% of my fuel is gone. It does 80- miles per fuelup. for some reason there's ~0.4gal of fuel left in the tank that I can't seem to get out. I wished I could, as fueling up every 80 miles is like every 1,5 to 2 hours while riding.
