I average 45MPG at 60-70MPH. That is 70/30% Highway/City. I use 91 Non-oxy.

I would check your valves. Especially exhaust valves.

My best mileage was 48.8 but that was trying- 55mph in a group. Normal riding 42 to 44mph but if I held the bike wide open near redline (5th gear)  the bike got exactly 20mpg  all day - and I have held it WOT all day at 135mph  maxed out with many pit stops
(1050 kit - dyno'd at 100HP)

Op was getting bad mpg doing 100mph. As a NV resident, heed my advice and slow down! NHP does exist and I have been stung by them.
Btw, the NHP still has a few C14 bikes in use, so watch it!

I don't worry much about MPG's.
I do {sorta/kinda} look at what mileage I'm getting, But,,
   I ride because I enjoy it, and I enjoy twisting the throttle and playing in the twisties.

When it needs gas, I buy some, when it doesn't, I ride it.
E'nuf sed..

Ride safe, Ted

Exactly.  Although just recently I appeared to be getting about 45mpg on the C14.
