Hi I am a new 2008 Blast owner (3 days). I bought the Blast with 1766 miles. I have put 305 miles on it. The first tank of gas only got 48 MPG (Premium gas), the second got less (45 MPG Premium gas)) and started sputtering at 87 miles. I turned on reserve and it still died out after only 5 miles on reserve leaving me on the side of the freeway. I was going downhill if that makes a difference. There was still a little gas in tank but it would not start. The third tank got 49 MPG (Regular gas). This was a HD Rider Safety Course motorcycle. Any suggestions?
