No, but that made me laugh- that would make sense though - but no, no altitude change and not that much difference in wind going either way.

I just completed a 1000 mile ride this weekend on the '74 LAPD and noticed something really strange with my fuel use- for the first 500 miles or so I believe I was getting 42mpg- then on my way home, it dropped to around 28mpg- I have not been tracking it too much around town the last few months, but from my last longer trip I remember it being around 40mpg (which seems about the same for most of the
loopframes I have owned) So I can't figure out what caused the sudden drop- because the bike is running exactly the same as it was before as far as I can tell. I checked the tire pressure and I didn't add anything to my bike during the trip like luggage or anything (but I doubt it would have that much of an effect). There was no change in altitude during the trip and I was driving the same speeds during the whole trip. Does not seem to be leaking gas anywhere either. WTF???? Any suggestions appreciated,
