Ah.but I love my cigars and we can't break into the cigar money!

I found this by Scratch:

'94
San Jose/300' above
Stock airbox with Unifilter foam filter
Stock exhaust
40 non-bleeder type pilot jets, 125 large round mains
2.75 3 turns out on the mix screws, floats set to .5inch.
One 0.48mm washer Removed washers in search of better fuel economy; no change in performance.
Warmup time is about the same, but low-end throttle response is better, and low-end power delivery is smoother (even before a Bob Broussard advanced ignition rotor).  Doesn't hesitate at steady mid-range throttle settings (cruising at 50-60mph).
Currently averaging 57mpg.

I'm following up with what Scratch said. I've got an almost identical set-up, stock airbox, filter, and exhaust, 40pilot 125 main, 1 washer, 3 turns. Runs better than stock, especially in the low-end and midrange. No documented change in mileage. Totally recommended

Thank's Sector...most of my riding is in town with short spurt's...Sounds like the ticket.Even if gas doesn't hit 5.00 this fall,all it will take is the ME going off like a Roman candle and it will be 6 or 7.00 over night.
Thank's to all for the input.

109.9p a litre in Wellesbourne (village on route to my work) for petrol.

Im shopping around using petrolprices.com trying to go to localish places that are still guna save me money.

Tesco are giving away 5p off per litre on their 106p per litre petrol with your online shopping orders - so that works out cheapest. Other than that lowest i can find is about 106p around by me. If i was to go to the most convenient i would be paying like 110p per litre then.

Mr Brown also has a proposal sat on his desk with some very persuasive numbers - his advisors are suggesting a 2p increase on fuel duty tax - Mr Brown is thinking hrmmm that will piss the people off, then he sees it will generate the government an extra 1billion! at no cost to themselves - thats a persuasive figure. Fookin just tax us to death. If they took all the tax away petrol would be competitive with that of the US

about that e85 stuff....how do you get ur bike to run on it? and why is it so different?

[GeeP]

A member here, Rema1000 got his on E85.  He has a writeup on here somewhere.  As I recall, once you jet for e85 you're stuck with e85 though, as it won't run on regular gas.
