No baggy clothing, although with the wind protection I'm getting from my windscreen it wouldn't flap much anyway. Top speed seems to be around 67, but with the area I was doing this I couldn't hold it at top speed for long before I had to roll off for traffic reasons. I will get a better take next spring on top speed.

My 2013 doesn't have a meter, just a gauge. I am calculating by just topping up completely and dividing by miles traveled. 75 point something on both first tanks with about 240 miles on bike altogether.

Not done any milage on my PCX yet to find out what MPG I get. Just wondered while this subject is being discussed if the Idling stop system has much effect on MPG?

My USA spec bike doesn't have idle stop, but for me personally and my use I would see very little value to it. Very few and brief stops.
If your commute involved lots of long stops at lights I would imagine you might see noticeable results, perhaps in the 10-15% range.
