You're getting shit for mileage. 30-36mpg. I've never gotten the low. But I've never been loaded for that long, or that fast. Does VA have a number on the back of their driver's license for roadside assistance? Good luck.
Only get five gallons before empty

I-95 where? I live about a couple miles off I-95 in north Idaho...
Pretty sure he's talking about Interstate 95, instead of US 95. Since he's a VA rider.

That's almost 35mpg. I've seen low thirties at 75 mph running tank to tank, worse at 80 mph.
Thanks all for offers to assist. I95 Jax FL. Actuals=5.8 gals to fill it. 205.6 mis by trip. 2013 st w about 25k mis. Runs very well. 3 boxes + duffle each gross 35lbs + 200lb rider. Avg likely 70mph. Bonus tip: check your generic key cut by a true smith to ensure it opens your gas cap. When I get back home I will longer have a locking gas cap.

head wind?
That has to be with bags, and a head wind.
Full load, though I hesitate to say overkill. I've weighed them, 4 bags at 35lbs ea ironically. No noticeable head wind. Could be a little conservative on speed, could be more like 75 avg. I am truly surprised, will not happen again.
yes,
its made by OBERON they do lots of different clours

Hey rob with the price of fuel going the way of gold prices, you may want a locking cap on that tank
Yesterday we had 25mph winds (South). Cruise set at 70mph, straight into the wind, and I got 37 (+/-1). Going home cruise was set at 75mph traveling with the wind, and I got 60 (+/-3). I had the OE windshield in the low position, and no boxes. The mileage was what the screen showed as current. My indicated average is 43.6. Which is down from my summer average of 45ish. I haven't reset my average mileage for about six months. It's been dropping by .1 about every week and a half. I'm assuming the mileage drop has been due to cooler temps, and winter fuel mixture. The new tires may have affected it, but I can't be sure.

I wish I could get my hands in that ST prototype rear tank, so cool looking!
