Havent been on the highway yet, but have averages of 40 and 42 so far.. Maybe the pods, buts pretty close.. Also have a leaky head gasket, that might do it too.. Anyone know how much fuel the tank holds? Couldnt find it in manual

Standard 650 tanks hold 3.7 gal with .7 for reserve for a total of 4.4 gal. Not sure about the 550 though...:huh:
