MZ/MuZ Riders

Just been for a long ride (well long for me 128 miles) on my ETZ 251 and got an astonishing 78mpg I checked my calculations twice, this was after fitting my home made/bodged exhaust .
Prior to fittin it I was getting 45/55 to the imperial not US gallon.
The speeds were only 50/60 but it was not constant droning along but mostly bendy back roads.

see how it goes for a while and if the good mileages happen again
make detailed drawings
we are all excited about better gas mileage

Many years ago after my mate and i had run out of money in Cornwall, we returned to Bristol as`economically`as possible.He got 80mpg out of his Honda 250 Superdream and i got 120mpg from my MZ 250 Supa 5!

a lot better than my 30 mpg.

I have been driving about in my little Japanese shopping trolley running to the lake district and back I worked out the fuel consumption at 62 mpg and no two stroke oil .................50/60 mph again cheap but its no fun,,, Vicar
