Mileage
Since installing my Crawford high flow cats earlier this spring, my Zed has been recording improved mileage.
It used to be a chore to get under 10l/100km (a little over 600km per tank), but it's pretty much common place now. That works out to about 23 MPG average.
I drove to Barrie over the weekend (via Calabogie, Bancroft, Haliburton, Bracebridge - SWEET drive!) and I averaged about 25 MPG WITH a bike rack on the hatch and, ahem, above average speeds in fairly hilly terrain. I was pretty damn impressed.
What kind of mileage are you guys seeing?

In the trip to Barrie (and back for that matter), it was way too hilly/twisty to use cruise control. I was constantly moving the throttle, hitting the brakes, and turning the wheel. Lots of fun, and apparently, fairly efficient way to drive the Zed. :-)
