I just put 4.221 gallons of gas in my PC!
Written by yankeesmuggler on 9/26/2010 at 08:33 pm

I sure do when traveling! Every extra drop means less distance I might
have to push the bike to find gas. This year I've had three 200 mile
rides before needing to fill up, but I just watch the gas gauge to be
certain when I need to stop. I find it to be the most accurate a d
consistant indicator of my fuel needs. The most I ever put in a couple
of years ago is 4.22 gallons.
