That was very evident on our trip where entire tanks were used up with the cruise set at the same speed for the entire time on the same roads in the same atm/temp/headwind.

interesting. care to elaborate pls? as in.. which stations/brands were best/worse
and how did you calculate headwind btw? any chance of a slight incline change that would have put more load on the motor that you didn't notice?
i sort of suspected something like this because my bike has seen mileage fluctuate from 48mpg to 61mpg along the same road, in similar conditions but i can't really narrow down if its throttle application or fuel variability or something else
