Re: lets talk mpg
I have gotten from 80 something to 200 mpg, depends on how/where I ride.

Re: lets talk mpg
It varies. I've got 300 miles on mine and I've just started on my 4th jug of gas/oil mix. so maybe 90 MPG, but that would include the crappy economy it was getting while I ran 16:1 at the first.
Couple of weeks ago (the days are getting shorter so most my riding is on weekends now) I filled it up, went for a 25 mile ride, then refilled it with a measure when I got back Just about 750 ML for the 25 miles. This works out to 126.5 MPG.
Like Miles would say, "I'll Allow It!"

Re: lets talk mpg
I had a spastic odometer for a while, but I would estimate I am getting about 120 - 130 mpg with a 48 cc 2-stroke in a town where there is very little by way of hills.

Re: lets talk mpg
I do get around 150 mpg if I cap the speed at 20 mph. Riding 25mph drops mpg to 100 or so. These numbers are based on my 50 mile round trip commute to work.

Re: lets talk mpg
depends on your gearing as well
when I ran 2stroke with a 50 tooth sprocket my mileage was 80mpg,
changing to a 40 bumped me to 120...same riding style (speed)
all pulling the trailer with a 66 from livefast on my Jag

Re: lets talk mpg
my falcon gets about 90-100 MPG, and i'm always at about 3/4 to full throttle. my rear mount with a 50cc and modded jet on the carb will burn through its 1.5L tank in less than 30 minutes of riding,which i have no idea what mpg that would come out to.
