What kind of fuel mileage do you get?

'83 CGT, 214cc, 195/50VR-15 Pirelli P6000 Sport Veloce tires, Castrol GTX
20W-50 oil, Bosch Platinum (not +4) plugs.

I can count on 25 mpg on my trips between Portland, Oregon and San
Francisco, California (actually Mt. View).  I have made the trip with a
single fuel stop in Weed, California (roughly halfway, call it 330 miles),
with a gallon or so in reserve (that is, with a roughly 13-gallon fill-up at
the stopping point and then again after reaching home).  This is at fairly
constant speeds of 65 to 70 mph (the general speed limits in Oregon and
California, respectively).

My trips have taken slightly longer since last October, when the Oregon
State Police were able to confirm that my CGT is in fact capable of reaching
95 mph on a hilly, curvy stretch of I-5 near Roseburg, Oregon.  Since then I
take about 10 hours to do the 660 mile trip...
