    Gas Mileage

    i put three bucks in my yamaha to top it off and i went for a 54.4km ride
    two hours later
    go back to the gas station and a fill it up again, it took another $3
    so i figured it out, 6.653 Litres per 100Lm or 35.4 miles per gallon
    i thought that was alright considering i drove her topped out on the gravel roads and in the ditch i was going very slow.
    sometime ill have to go easy on her, see what the best mileage she'll get.

    What do you guys get for gas mileage on your trikes
    it was damn cold when i did this so if your going to do it, wear long underwear cus theres nothing to block the wind from your legs. it would have saved me from the frostbite on my inner thighs.

    I get about 30mpg with the 250ES when going 15-25. 200E gets slightly better. At least we allways know that we are getting better miliage then our friends quads.

    Thats intresting. I have wondered what mine would get. I have no speedo, nor any other way to measure mileage. You would kinda want to know on some of these long trail rides. Anyone know how far a 350X can go or 250ES BigRed.

    my trike doesnt have a speedo either, but i used a gps. Its pretty interesting to find that kind of stuff out though, i usually ride to the gas station once or twice a month and put about $6.50 in it.

    I've never emptied my tank, allthough it's gotten close, I bet it could go 100 or more miles under ideal conditions.

    Thats cool. Some of the places you can ride around here are 70 miles of trails. I dont want to get out and run out of gas, and would prefer not to lug some with me.

    This is one of the reasons I love my 110!! It gets 100 miles per tank which is 50 mpg.

    And for right now the gas prices around here is $1.94 per gallon (regular) which means it costs me $3.88 to go 100 miles!!
