When you say low 70s (mpg), is that with your (imperial, perhaps?) gallons or the OP’s (US) gallons?
Sorry I should have clarified. Imperial gallons.

More important, your beers are also bigger. you get 4 more Oz to your pints (20 oz v 16). Hell, your beers are almost as big as our small fast food sodas.For our friends across the pond, it's important to remember that an Imperial gallon has 20% more volume than a US gallon so it's important to specify.
You need to go to Bavaria. Standard beer = 1 Liter (34 oz).More important, your beers are also bigger. you get 4 more Oz to your pints (20 oz v 16). Hell, your beers are almost as big as our small fast food sodas.
I’m curious what the dash board MPG display showed while you got the 80+ MPG. Is the dash readout close to actual fuel economy?Friday's fill up (161 miles 2.0 gals) and this morning's fill up (214 miles 2.6 gals) also resulted in 80.5 and 82 mpg figures. Crazy good mileage.
I can't speak for the 750Xs but my '17 700X read ~86 on the dash while Fuelio reported my all-time high of 92mpgI’m curious what the dash board MPG display showed while you got the 80+ MPG. Is the dash readout close to actual fuel economy?

Ok I checked on today's fill up. Went 152.3 miles which included some 50 miles of expressway at 70 mph and some in town errands with stop and go traffic, stop lights etc. It took 2.07 gals to refill. By calculator it figured out to 73.57 mpg.I’m curious what the dash board MPG display showed while you got the 80+ MPG. Is the dash readout close to actual fuel economy?
So a medium fast food soda.You need to go to Bavaria. Standard beer = 1 Liter (34 oz).

Doing 80 mph, with lots of aerodynamic drag (windscreen, wide Shad bags), I would expect your mileage to be poor. It’s just physics. Don’t expect any improvement from the 24,000 mile service.I've also been concerned about my mileage. A lot of people seem to be getting better mileage than me. I haven't done my own calculations but I go by how many miles I get on a tank. I fill to the top and then some (probably not worth it). I get anywhere from 120 miles to 150 miles per tank. I do drive it at 75 to 85 during multi-day motorcycle rallys on the interstates, have a taller windscreen, shad 36 liter bags and a Honda top case. I am not gentle on the throttle. So probably it is me. But for rallys stopping every 120 - 150 miles to fill up is a time killer. Maybe I just bought the wrong bike. I didn't believe the 70 miles to the gallon (US) in the specs, but I thought that if I got 60 I could go about 200 miles per tank. No such luck.
I am having the 24000 mile service done and having them replace all filters and checking for brakes dragging, wheels lubed etc, but I don't think it will help much. We'll see.
