Title: My gas milage Post by: BlackdogGS on September 22, 2012, 08:40:37 PM I took my 2010 M1100S on a 200 mile ride today. I checked my gas milage very carefully. I was riding with 2 friends, one on a Busa the other on a SV1000. The ride was "spirited", lots of twisties and hit over 100 Mph a time or two. I got 47.3 the first tank and 53.5 the second. I can't complain about that!
Both tanks were ethanol free. Ill check ethanol gas later. Title: Re: My gas milage Post by: Dirty Duc on September 22, 2012, 09:30:02 PM Altitude makes a massive difference on my air-cooled engine.
At ~5k, I get about 40 on a regular basis. At 8-10k, I get 50-ish even riding faster than normal. Title: Re: My gas milage Post by: LA on September 23, 2012, 03:34:14 PM Jebus, my 4 valver gets 35 mph maybe. My Ford Fiesta gets better.

What is this "ethanol free" gas you speak of? ;D Title: Re: My gas milage Post by: bob795 on September 23, 2012, 07:52:37 PM Commuting, in a stop-n-go traffic, I get only about 33 mpg. I've yet to see the gas consumption on open road.

Who cares abt gas when u ride!! it's all abt pleasure.. I don't even know how many miles I get from the bikes... I compensate the gas my monsters drink [wine] with my jetta which gets abt 47mpg highway.. Title: Re: My gas milage Post by: Dirty Duc on September 24, 2012, 07:59:37 AM Gas mileage is important when opportunities to fill are far apart.
100 miles for 3 gallons is a pretty good planning factor, but in that mileage was less than two gallons. |
