It's not unusual for us to get 50 MPG if our cruising speeds are 75 or under.
Strong headwinds seems to effect RS mileage more than the K1300S. The S did not have those jugs sticking out and the bags were much narrower.
We have not had the RSs out to the Rockies but I remember the K1200RS and K1300S getting great mileage at high altitude.
I do not notice a difference in mileage when using 89 AKI or 91 AKI.
If the pump shows the 91 does not have ethanol, that's what I use.
A lot of states are not good about marking the pumps, so on trips we use 89 a lot of times.
In Iowa it's easy to find 91 ethanol free.
