i have a 1998 se 24v now, but before i had a 1996 gl with a zetec and a 5 speed. on a particular trip to chicago, IL from muskegon, MI and back with random city driving in both cities and along the way i got aprox 397 miles on one tank of gas. this is with mostly highway driving with the cruise set at 80 or 85. with my new se with a v6, the most miles i have gotten per tank is around 290. the highest mpg i got with the se has been around 24 and the highest with the gl was almost 34. so... i like the SE 24v 1,000,000 times better! with the coming gas price hikes though, my bike will see alot more use.
