Notes on mileage: Lost track on these, so not as keen on where Sveta’s efficiency is. This will help me get back on track. Seems to be holding around this 27mpg level for now.
first, let me say i enjoy your blog - has been helpful on a couple of occasions and is an enjoyable read.
i personally have a 2007 gear up and i am a bit astonished at your gas mileage. i drive pretty conservatively (hardly ever push the 60 mph mark), never lug the engine, run my tires at 32-32-40, and have a sidecar windshield. but i consistently only get 20-22 mpg… i can’t figure out how to get better mileage. any advice?
Thanks Matthew, glad the blog’s been helpful!
How many kms are on your Gear-up? I’m not sure either why your mileage would be 20-22 mpg.
