How many miles per tank?

davearoy · #1 09-21-2009, 03:41 PM

I have a standard peanut tank on my new build. Today I ran out of gas at 21.5 miles. I am using the standard 44 tooth sproket, with a DAX 80 cc engine. running 24 to 1 for normal engine break in. I weigh about 210 lbs, mainly drove on flat streets toady. What should normal milage per tank be?

Thanks for your feedback

I get roughly 46 miles to the tank running 100-1 Opti-2, I weigh 220+ but that's easy cruising, If I tear around at WOT all the time I can empty a tank in as little as 20 miles.

Hey!

Usually I can go 80 Km per tank, Sorry about the miles conversion I live in Quebec and my Speedometer is in KM only....

Buy my motor is new, so I can figure it will be better later on.

What I did, is so I don't end up far away from home with no gas left, I installed a water bottle (in Stainless Steel) on a bottle rack full of pre mix gas. Just in case...

Same thing here but mine's tucked in behind the seat. It only took running out of gas twice for me to learn. lol

I weigh in at 245 lbs and get around 50 miles per 2 liter tank. I'm not racing around, but cruising at 25 mph or so. My first tank or two was about the same as yours. Better gas economy will be seen as the engine loosens up internally and the rings seat better.

I get about 90 - 100km's per tank with 100:1 Opti-2 and 98 octane fuel. But I weigh around 100kg's.
