Going Broke

[yamaha225]

Does anyone have a problem with there BLASTER"S fuel milleage. This thing is eating a HUGE hole in my pocket for gas. I can't ride but about a half a day on a full tank. I'm driving pretty hard though. There's not any gas leaking from the carb it is jetted a little rich though but hell I would'nt think that It would use that much gas.

[MRPoopie]

thats a 2 stroke for ya :lol:

[SYKO]

yep welcome to my world!! lol!! I burn at least 10 gallons a week in pre mix around here!

[Louis Mielke]

yeah, I usually figure about 6 gallons for a full days HARD riding on my 250r. And that's covering a lot of ground.

[El'Capitan]

haha, thats good mileage...i get a couple hours on a full tank w/ my quadracer.

[yamaha225]

You know it would'nt be quite as bad if I did'nt have to pay for more then just gas. It takes around $6.00 for a full tank of gas and around $2.00 a tank for the 2-cycle oil and 2 refills on a normal day. F*** around $16.00 for a day's worth of riding. Holy s***!

16 is cheap!!

5 gallons of 93 at $3+

64 oz castor 927 makes 15 gallons at $28

so roughly about $23-26 per 5 gallon fill up

a good weekend I will use 10 gallons so thats about $50 to ride a weekend with 2 machines.

[Rm250RF900R]

Damn 3+ for 93?? Its about 2.70 here. Time to move out of the south :lol:

[El'Capitan]

hmm, its 3.xx for 87 up here.....

My Polaris Explorer 4x4 goes through more gas than any of the wheelers we have around the house,I swear I only put 3 to 4 tanks of gas in the KLT I sold in almost a year and rode it almost every day????

[SYKO]

well the 93 fluctuates so much here IM just going with 3 as a general amount right now its only around 2.55 but next week it may be 4 when some Iraqi farts wrong.

[MTS]

wow 10 gal for a weekend, My old Bike would go though that in a few hours of hard riding.....The Yamies Like the Gas!!!

next week it may be 4 when some Iraqi farts wrong.

ya, youd think these little machines would get better milage than a car, but we figured milage out for my friends sportsman 500ho (in 4x4).....gets about 8-10mpg. I had a friend with a grizzly 660 and hed go through a tank in a few hours of mudding. My raptor gets much better though, i can ride 3-4 hours on 1/2 tank. Personaly i think its due to the auto trani.

CVT transmissions suck down the fuel.

[devildog_0431]

It takes me about $6 to fill up my Rappy...I can ride for about 6hrs on it, it's around 3.5 gallons. Gas is $2.05 here for 87

[SYKO]

YUK!! 87!!! my 250r wont even begine to run with that crap in the tank! 93 goes in all my machines no matter what even my daughters trx 70!

[Mr. Clean]

How about 110 race fuel $6.50 a gallon. Smells good though.
