Thumbs up Turbo fuel mileage


I average about 32mpg combo riding, more two lane canyon roads than freeway. My problem is I can't stay off the boost! I love the acceleration too much and try to miss every traffic light possible. Plus I too often hit triple digit speeds when riding. I love to hear the turbo spool up under throttle and the blow off valve hiss when you let off. It just doesn't seem to ever get old! The only thing getting really poor mileage is my 200 metz. Old farts need thrill too!
