CB750 mpg
Moorey:
The witch piss we call petrol these days could have something to do with not getting as far on a gallon as back in the 60s 70s.
Moorey:
I had a steady ride out today up to Hawes through the Dales and back. Round trip 162 miles 46.8mpg. That's the best i've ever had on a run. Shows what you can get if you ride like an old man. ;) Might have to do it more often.! On second thoughts Nah.

After a service and tune up including carb synch the fuel consumption problem was still the same.
Met a bloke on a F1 at the Moto Piston rally in Santander and he told me to renew the needle jets with genuine Honda items. He said they would need renewed about every 12,000 to 15,000 miles to maintain decent fuel economy.
He was correct, on a recent 3,000 mile round trip to Ireland I averaged 52mpg. :)

Is that just the jets or needle and jets.?
Last tank of fuel on my F1 worked out at 40.2mpg but more often than not 37-39 but I am not exactly gentle with it.
That's the slide needle and needle jet (supplied as a set from Honda, part number 16012 392 004)
