fuel mileage
I don't know why everyone complains about the mileage on the VTR.
during the week, I can only get 100 miles until the light comes on(and maybe 125 if I go to the end of the tank), but highway cruising at 110km/h(67mph) got me about 42mpg. Which means my light came on at 131miles, I filled up at 136 miles, and still had a full gallon left after. I calcuate that I can get about 175 miles to the tank on the highway.

Re: fuel mileage
I had a perfect opportunity to do it last sunday with a mostly interstate 200 mile return leg but the speeds kept creeping up and we ended up cruising about 85mph. Running 67mph on a highway in Texas would turn you into a hood ornament! :P
