(DAY-AFTER - Posted originally on FB on June 01, 2023)


As it appears, when I filled up (after the trip) the total distance ridden is: 
6679 miles.
I burned 185.657 gallons of 87 gas (which costed me roughly $750)
The total milage per gallon on sucha long trip was 35.97mpg.
Surprisingly low, considering that I had some 47-54mpg sections of the trip.

I carry a GPS Tracker on my motorcycle.  It records my position every 12 minutes, so on the longer trips it shows well, how I travelled.  Most of the times it works, sometimes, however the battery runs out and there is a gap in the track until I notice that.
So, this is how my trip looked:
