Power usage stratoliner

Just curious, while I love having it I can never see myself in a situation where I would use 100% of the power.

    These things absolute drink the fuel right up if you're constantly riding them hard.

    I was amazed at how much better the fuel economy was when I went on my first group trip with it. The leads were pretty chill riders that kept a pretty constant speed and didn't hover far from the speed limits. I was at 150 miles on one tank and the needle was still at about 1/8 of a tank. Under my normal (aggressive) driving conditions, I'm hitting "E" around 100-120 miles.

    When I cruze around the city, the only way to use it is when you start at green light, so It is not like high revs all the way.
    When I ride longer distance I pick curvy roads to play, so it is not the way to use 100% - it need to be dosed depending on the curve, tilt and it's up to the distance of planned trip and attitude at the moment :)
    When I ride with friends I found aggressive racing between each other stupid.
    At shorter distances I may feel like HELL YEAH and roll hard and feel the rush and play... but never to hard as I have someone to live for :)
    It is aleays a balance - not full throttle all the time.
    Power is like a solid backup when I need it.
