Even though it's a cruiser, my elbow tends to like to drop quite quickly :wink: so this probably isn't quite optimal, but it's had over 850 miles on it with about that mileage... Mostly in-city but on main streets doing about 40-60. Hope it helps!

On my group ride where we were riding very briskly for a full 6 hours, I got about 40mpg.

During normal riding around town (50mph average), I've averaged around 45mpg. I haven't taken a Highway-only trip, but the best MPG I have gotten so far is 50... and I was still accelerating briskly.
