[QUOTE="n2ppn, post: 53064, member: 2016"] Hi, It seems this topic thread always devolves into a thread about ATF or MMO.... <sigh> Here's some "back of an envelope math" for ya to consider...... At a average of $14.00 a gallon for plain old ATF @ the auto parts store, and gas approaching $4.05 a gallon gas is still cheaper than ATF. Adding 8 oz of ATF to your gas at fill up, which is adding almost $1.00 a tank to your cost to fill up each time you dump that 8 oz of ATF into your tank... Lets say it increases you mileage by only 5% (from say 40 MPG to 42 MPG) giving you an extra 10 miles per tank of gas it only saved you a quart of gas which at $4.00 a gallon costs $1.00 So you spent one dollar to save one dollar??? Lets even go further.... if it increases your mileage by 10% (from 40 to 44 MPG) gives you 20 extra miles per tank and saves you 2 dollars at the gas pump for a dollar spent on ATF... Is it worth it??? (rhetorical question, please don't answer it) I only was interested in the raw data of MPG of rider's bikes, not about other things... sorry if I got all disillusioned that this post wouldn't devolve...
