What did you eat or carry on the way back?
Were you dragging your brakes, feet or ass? :'))))
Is the choke stuck? or airbox clogged? Riding into the wind? Going uphill
all the way??

Give us the location details of this recent trip.
Headwind? Big issue.
High speed? Trying to keep 80 on highway 5 will suck a LOT more fuel
than doing 65 on highway 99.
Valve condition? The first sign of failing valve faces is a rapid climb
in fuel consumption.
