Scott,
I get from Detroit to New Orleans and back, consistently in 5 hours on 30
gallons of fuel. The distance is 808 NM (Y47 - KNEW). That is 31 MPG at 161
KTS.
I'm interested in the road economics. How much fuel would the bike take
using roads (1,075 SM says my Garmin)? How long would it take and how much
would it cost including hotel/motels?

Sometimes I am just amazed that my water cooled twin cylinder motorcycle engine (110 ci, 4" bore, 4.4" stroke), utilizing two iridium plugs per cylinder, 12 port electronic fuel injection, 9:1 CR, 3 valves and a 3D mapped computer that manages the 107 HP (@5000 RPM) engine with refinements from coolant temperature (startup), Baro, MAP, RPM, induction air temp, and O2 feedback. Works at any altitude with a road. Why aren't our aircraft engines so controlled? Ahhh, don't answer that - it was a rhetorical question.
