Last Thursday I left Austin, Tx for Deming NM to see a friend for a quick visit. It was my first long (for me) trip and was a real blast. Cruising along I10 at 75 mph, the trike (2008 GL Motortrike) was smooth and comfortable. I took a different route home and went thru the Cloudcroft area and then over to Carlsbad and back to I10 for a 1400 mile ride. I checked the fuel mileage while on I10 since the speed was constant and tried different speeds - 65, 70, 75. On the way back I did the same thing and the mileage was better. There was no difference in wind direction/speed. At 70 I got 28-29 on the way out and 30-32 on the way back. Is it possible that the long high speed run did something to improve the motors efficiency? As soon as I got back to Austin, I was ready to go again!
