... and depending on what year the 1800 is the low fuel light will come on between 90 and 100 miles on the odometer. The early ones had the fuel pump in the tank, where as the later models mounted it outside the tank. The externally mounted models get about 1/2 gallon more fuel in the tank and get a little better fuel range.
Anywhere from 38-45 is normal depending on riding style. I have no idea what mine gets. Don't care.

I'd hope a 1300 gets better MPG, it's a smaller engine.

A VTX 1800 doesn't exactly get amazing fuel range.  ::)

Sorry to ruin your three way in a mini van fantasy, but yeah, one at a time.

"Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of a Stripper, Diablo Cody"

Good read!

I'm hooked on the Prey series and the Flowers series by John Sandford. It's neat to be able to picture the locations around town where allot of the stories take place.

Sorry, tangent ...

I've had a few mini vans - 3 Astro's and 5 Caravan/Voyager's. I just got my new 2013 Dodge last week. So far I like it. It's a nice upgrade from the 2010 Voyager I had. As I was waiting to pick it up I wandered around the showroom, and thought to myself that a minivan is probably one of the better values out there.
I have been able to cary almost anything in my vans. 4x8 sheet's of plywood or sheetrock, no problem. I've had an RZ350, SuperHawk, and Ninja 250 in my Caravan/Voyager with no issues other than odd looks when you unload it.
My Caravan/Voyagers have all been provided by work as lease vehicles that we turn in at 85,xxx miles. Very few issues with them in that time. The 2003 tossed the trans at 30K (known problem), the 2010 had horrible brakes, and I'm not sure yet about the 6 speed auto in the 2013. It just feels weird. Otherwise solid.

Happy Shopping!
